Try having protein and carb every 2-3 hours (plus lots of vegetables of course) and instead of all that bread and cereal, try a slow carb that will not spike your blood with sugar. Beans, yams, oatmeal, lentils, brown rice.

Good luck -- if you are addicted to sugar, the prospect of giving it all up for beans will not be enticing.

I was going to say the same- add a decent serving of protein (20g or so should help alot) to your breakfast, a protein powder can really help with this if you don't have time to prepare anything else (eggs or whatever). Also, IIRC most Subway sandwiches aren't all that high in protein unless you double or even triple the meat, so it sounds like you're ingesting a LOT of carbs at each meal without enough protein and maybe also fat to keep your blood sugar from shooting up and down drastically throughout the day- a big serving of even many forms of complex carbs without protein or fat to balance it out can do that!
