Hey there! Little bit advice needed..

Past few days I've been using my Meter which I was given due to having abnormal readings whilst having an episode of a Viral Infection.

Anyways, I've decided to keep an eye on my readings the past few days.. and I have been above 10.0mmol majority of the time! Even waking. I know Carbs cause the spike but even after Boiled Eggs on Cloud Bread I was still high..

I feel alright but know I need to be lower... I take Linagliptin 5mg daily, can't tolerate the MF even slow release :/

Any advice on how to lower this.. and what I should be doing as a type 2.

What should my readings be?

Thanks for any advice in general guys. Really appreciate it :)

It can take a while to get your bloods back to your normal, brewing, during and after any sort of infection or illness.
