I am 8.1 at the moment. Bad, no?

Ahh, here is my longish post - clicked save instead of submit. Thank you Phoenix. A fantastic document. Good news is that my doctor took me under his wing and is determined to get me under control. My hba1c reading was 8.1, other diagnostics are okay, a bit over normal. He also prescribed...
