The things you are planning to have for breakfast are not particularly good choices especially when you blood glucose level is already high. The cereal and banana are both high carb foods and many people would not tolerate either let alone both together.
Better options would be Greek yoghurt with berries, seeds or nuts or eggs in any form, with bacon or mushrooms or tomatoes. You may get away with a small slice of toast with your eggs.

The challenge may be what is seen as good and bad.

A lot of what has previously been promoted as good can be difficult for diabetics to deal with such as cereals, high sugar fruits, bread, potatoes, smoothies.

It might be worth doing a food diary for the next week with a log of everything that you eat each day along with the reading you get two hours after your meal.

You can then get a better picture of what may be helping or hindering your progress and modify accordingly. Feel free to post them here if some suggestions would be helpful.
