My bg tends to rise after I awaken, but before I've eaten. For instance, it may be 85 when I get up at 6:00a.m., but used to rise to 120 by the time I'd fussed around and measured again prior to breakfast at 7:15. After lots of trial and error, I've found that breaking my Levemir into 3 doses (5 units at 7:15 a.m., 5 units at 3:15 p.m. and 6.5 units at 11:15 p.m.) almost eliminates that morning rise. I also inject my bolus about 20 minutes before I eat. This seems to keep my BG from spiking more than 20 - 30 pts 45 min to 1 hour post meal.

Don't know if my experience with small basal amounts is helpful for someone using higher doses, but it might give you some food for thought.
