Hi Debee. From what you've listed I certainly wouldn't say that was a lot. Cheerios are probably not the best cereal to have but I've had them plenty of times if that's all we had in. What are your reasons for trying to cut back? Do you carb count? As a T1 you can and should be adjusting your insulin doses to the carbs you're eating.
 
Cant comment on how much you should be eating, but have found the Cals and Carbs book very useful in working out how many carbs.
Although a bit of a faff at first, you soon learn your regular items.
