George,

I think you are fine without any medication. Medications have side effects & carry risks, and as long as your post-prandial readings are in the nineties, that's good. If you see that number continue to rise toward 130, 140, then you should consider some help. I think you have a good thing going.

There is the belief (Dr. Bernstein for example) that we, as diabetics, want to mimic the levels of a non-diabetic. Within reason, this is great advice. But with the associated risks of drugs and insulin, AND the current knowledge that wiseguy talked about (sustained at above 140 may cause complications), I think you need to leave good enough alone! Keep exercising, riding, and doing the good job of taking care of the kitties!
