Carb counting and correction doses are essential for good diabetes management.
Also, if you eat meals close together - you'll more than likely end up with higher spikes.
Your pre-prandial BG should ideally be in your chosen range before starting a meal. If I had a BG of 11.4mmol/L, I'd correct it and put off eating until it had come down to somewhere between 4-7mmol/L.
When bs is that high and you need/ want to eat you might opt to chose something lower carb than weetabix , like an egg, a few nuts or some avocado. Something that should have little impact on raising your bs even further. Carbs foods will only add to the increase even with corrections.
