I usually eat porridge or weetabix for breakfast, don't eat bread or pastry type stuff. Eat lots of fish, chicken, salads and green veg. Looking at it, I'm pretty good.

I would not touch either porridge or cereal as it would make my blood glucose level soar - particularly in the mornings.
As you are not far into the diabetes range, removing a high carb meal first thing in the day, when many people find they are more insulin resistant might be all you need to do to return to normal numbers.
When I get up, bearing in mind I've only been checking it for 8 days, my blood glucose reading is about 8.1- 8.6. after breakfast before lunch it's between 5.9 -6.3. After my evening meal, it's 6.3- 6.8.
I wait two hours. I'm obviously just trying to find my way. Dr just said loose weight. I'm seeing the nurse next week, so will ask for more info and a group or clinic I can attend.

I don't eat after 7pm until about 8.30 am

Keeping a food diary for a few days with everything you eat and drink with a estimate of the carbs may reveal some problem foods, those that look as if they may would be the breakfast cereals. But there could be other things which you may be overlooking as being high carb.
That was what my GP asked me to do and I also recorded my before and 2 hour post meal readings and that helped to see what was going on. I also started on 50mmol/mol and followed the principals in this link and reduced my Hba1C to 42 in 3 months. https://lowcarbfreshwell.com
