That largely depends on the cereal. In the UK there are popular cereal types which have very little sugar in them - oats, weetabix, shredded wheat, ready brek that are fine for diabetics. The worst offenders would be kids cereals & anything overtly sugary as well as things like granola, muesli etc. Things like cornflakes, shreddies, rice krispies sit somewhere at the low end - not healthy per se but fairly low in sugar
They’re all, perhaps with the exception of raw steel-cut oats, or plain bran, pretty simple carbohydrates, and you add sugar in the form of lactose on top to eat them. Pretty sure none of them are a net positive to health.

The UK diabetes website says they’re fine. I’m sure if you were diabetic you would be extra careful about milk, portion size though. For everyone else they’re about as low sugar as cereal gets, whether we’re talking breakfast cereal, or cereal in fields cereal.
When I stopped eating cereal for breakfast, I lost weight and improved my blood sugar levels. If you want diabetes, go ahead and eat cereal.

Breakfast cereal is a marketing name, it’s really breakfast candy.
Exactly. When you realize that, it makes it a little easier to let it go.
