Questions about fasting numbers and possible insulin need

Sooo I’m 28 weeks and was diagnosed just over a week ago. So far my fasting sugars have been really high as well as almost every other number throughout the day. Thankfully they usually come down for dinner.

  1. Can my high fasting reading be affecting my high readings the rest of the day?
  2. At what point do they try medicine for the fasting levels?

I feel like I’m at such a loss. I have tried high protein snacks at bedtime and in the middle of the night. I’ve tried a more carb filled snack in the middle of the night(which did reduce my fasting a little but it was still at 111.). I had gd in my last pregnancy but it was so easily diet controlled that I had no problems. This time unless I’m eating a bowl of ice cream, I have high sugar. I’m struggling for sure and I feel sick when my sugars are high and I can’t keep my eyes open, even if my 1 hour is only like 145.

Thank you.
