depends on the timing- if you fasting sugar is high, you may need insulin, or to lose weight to bring it down- as far as normalizing when you eat, it may depend on the time of day- in DM, sugars are likely to go lower @ midday, and can drop low pre (early) meal due to glucagon insufficiency- well, try to avoid the old joke- 'hey doc- every time i eat my sugar goes to normal- 'well?- don't just stand there- eat something!?'
