Is it normal drops and up still without being taking pills?

As I have presented before, say that today I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I have not bought the pills.
I have asked my family doctor and he told me that it was rare that without still taking pills had notable uploads and fasting on fasting.Or that, or that my mother's glucometer is also diabetic-I was wrong.He has also told me that in principle glucometers are usually reliable, but I don't know.Greetings to all.
