Be careful with your Diet plan along with medication.

You have to keep taking it till your doctor advises you to take it. Keep up the good habits that you follow. Do not worry about the diabetes if it is well controlled. Also add yoga if possible as it can stimulate the system to regulate the overall hormonal secretions. Keep the regular checkup and take the medications regularly.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query. Blood glucose level of fasting 140 mg is high, but PP 160 mg looks good. It is better if you do a HbA1c% as that will give an idea of whether there is good control over a longer period. HbA1c% should be <6.8. Continue exercising and also taking a proper balanced and restricted diet. Your weight should be ideally at 54 kgs, so weight reduction is necessary for better control. Thanks.

There is no time limit, you need to take medication and monitor your blood sugar levels and hbA1c levels. If levels decrease, you may decrease your diabetic medications after consulting your doctor. U medications have to be titrated as per your loose sugar levels.
