What happened with your diagnosis then? 14.7 is incredibly high for any newly diagnosed, esp type 2. did they not do antibody tests on diagnosis? i guess they cant have done. i agree that on the positive side though, insulin control is much easier than diet. i mean, being type 1 you dont have the diet and exercise option (although dont get me wrong, both these factors are a massive help to ANY diabetic), but if you are prepared to put plenty into your management, the combination of your mental efforts and shots can do a pretty excellent job of mimicking the efforts of a healthy pancreas and allow you flexibility in diet, treats, drinks etc. anyhow, good luck, no one wants to have this thing, but i really do find that the glimpse of immortality it gives you makes you appreciate everything you have while you still have it rather than waiting until its gone, and thats a gift i wouldnt want to lose.
