For the newbie, these numbers should be less than 7 or 6.5 (or according to some, less than 6.0). The 14.4 was so high that most charts don't even go that high. Luckily, I wasn't showing any signs of damage to the eyes, nerves, kidney's, etc. (at least yet!).
The initial insulin really brought the numbers down to a reasonable level. But, there is still a lot of work to do. And, this is not an easy process. I was already exercising quite a bit and the diet was ok.
It is a constant reminder that it takes daily work to get these numbers where they should be.
I'm still researching how the risk levels really change from 5.5 to 6.0, or from 6.0 to 6.5 as an example. It is hard to get a good answer to where these levels should be. And, it may be that there are just too many factors to consider.
