Am I still diabetic?

[Arihant2051]

I'm 33 and was diagnosed with type 2 in April 2017. My FBS is 251. My PPBS is 398 and the A1c was 9.3. I took medicine for 3 months. Then, I left the medicine and the A1c 5.8. Now, the A1c has been below 5.6. I'm not taking any medicine, but go for brisk walks for 45 minutes. Taking no sweets. Am I still diabetic?
