Your fasting level and HbA1c are very normal.You may fine tune your medication after consulting your doctor.Please do not think of insulin right away

your pp bs is bit high. you can maintain it by diet control and some physical exercies folle=wed with walking both time.if ur doctor suggests you insuline. dont woory . insiline is very safe.. be always tenson free and enjoy life..

Change your food timings and have small meals at intervals instead of taking one full meal at noon. You don't deserve insulin treatment. as seen from the results.
