It always best to improve further. Perception about balanced diet and exercise is often poor in my patients. Please see a dietitian and also intensify your exercise. If sugar control still remains poor it is fair to start treatment. Further if your diet and exercise is not as expected by a doctor your diabetes control may be difficult even with tablets
