Yes, in general oral anti diabetic meds are added based on your HbA1c as well and other labs including urine for protein and glucose. Diabetes complications preventive care would be initiated as well with regular foot and eye exams.

The best guide is you HbA1c. What is that. I recommend the DASH diet for both HTN and DM. It works to avoid meds in many and reduce need for meds int others. But everyone is different. keep at it.
