Maybe try not to use artificial sweetners like Splenda.
35 Yrs ago I had a an MD/Naturopathic type doctor who found I was hypoglcemic. He put me on a diet of ONLY fish, lean meats and vegetables, salads,,water and herbal tea....NOTHING ELSE. He was a brilliant guy and he said our pancreas reacts to artificial sweetners as if they are sugars so I could not use them. He said, just do this for 3 months. He not only controlled my hypoglycemia which had gotten so bad I was fainting, stopping all sugars and simple carbs fixed a chronic UTI problem I had for years...he told me Sugars feed bacteria.
Here is an article by Dr Mercola....a doc much like my previous doc....

I agree with Hopeless that having a nutritious snack like a hard boiled egg or piece of cheese is better. Or, if you really crave bread for toast, have half a slice with almond butter. I know a slice of toast or cereal seem harmless but they do make sugar levels spike. I have a slice of turkey rolled up with a slice of cheese as a snack or some nuts. I had basically been vegetarian but have been scolded by docs for not getting enough protein so I am back to eating some fish, eggs, chicken. I also recently discovered almond cheese which is actually pretty good.
Also a brand of breads and cereals called Ezekial which are made from sprouted grains...very nutritious. Generally found in the freezer section or if a health food store that moves alot of products, like Whole foods or Trader Joes, they may be with regular breads.
