| Sounds like you're a beginner? Sorry if not. 165 is a little high but considering, I'd say you're doing quite well. I usually try for around 100 before meals and under 150 2 hrs after. I know that there are others here who have differing opinions. I find that my goals are reachable for me personally, so I'm comfortable with them.
What if any meds are you on? I'm T1, so our experiences will be a little different. Have you worked w/ a CDE? A dietician (CDE) can be a huge help.
I find that cereal is a little unpredictable for me: I get a fast high b/s in the 200's, then drop off quite quickly, sometimes under 60. You may find that adding a little protein w/ the cereal could level off your carb absorption and you won't go quite so high.
Good luck and welcome, by the way!
