Hi,
Need for insulin or oral hypoglycemic medications cannot be concluded by just fasting and after meal plasma glucose levels.
You need to take the glucose challenge test (GCT) or Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). Depending on the values, it would determine the requirement for medications.
Kindly consult Obstetrician for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
