I agree with Mike that those post lunch look good, except of course you've still got a few hours of the insulin working, and if your digestion has peaked and slowed down you could well end up low. Will be interesting to see your 4 hour, my guess is it will be lower than you'd like (but it's just a guess, fingers crossed it's not).
I started at 1:1 and worked up until I found what worked for me, took a few days of eating the same thing so I didn't introduce too many variables but it worked well. I think trying to change change too many things at once really doesn't give you great data to work with so if it were me I'd chalk today up to a "beta test" and start tomorrow trying one ratio (2:1 maybe) and see how things go. Unless you get really bad results, try sticking at it for a couple of days as Mike suggested, and FWIW I think if you can still to the same/similar food for a couple of days you really do minimize the variables and get some useful data. Just having 30g CHO for breakfast isn't the same if one day it's toast, next day cereal, and then a fry up, they may all be 30g CHO but how your body digests will be very different.
