It would be better to initiate medications since your fasting is quite high.
I would, however, also get your Hba1c checked.
What’s important for you, is to stop your sugars/sweets and exercise regularly, thereby reducing your weight.
This would in turn help keep your sugars under better control with minimal medications for diabetes.
