When you say you spike at an hour and crash back down; what do you reach at an hour?
To be fair, very few T2s on Metformin or diet alone manage to eat cereal at breakfast time because our insulin resistance tends to be strongest then, so many might find a bowl of cereal would peak higher when consumed in the morning than if they ate it later in the day.
If you can't tackle eggs, what about bacon? You could batch cook it and have it cold when you have a moment. The protein+fat is likely to be a significantly different peak, and quite likely keep you feeling fuller for longer, and (this bit is my feeling) I doubt you would have the feelings you have, even if the numbers on your meter said the same 4.5.
But please do let me know what your peak is because a high, pronto, peak (and for now, I have no idea if your peak is high or higher than you would like to see) can result in an equally rapid rebound down, often ending up lower than before you ate at a couple of hours or shortly thereafter.
Just for completeness, everyone's blood level goes up a bit when they eat, it's just a case of by how much, for how long it stays there, and where it ends up.
