Ideally, you'll get to a point where you can be off meds, yes. But that's for you and your endo to discuss. I'm sure they've also discussed with you the importance of eliminating or at least reducing the amount of sugar you consume. If you do it gradually, it will work. You don't need sodas or candies ALL the time. They're treats. I'm not necessarily saying cut them entirely (because cutting sugar in today's world is pretty close to impossible, without adhering to a strict diet), but I noticed from your comment below you don't eat regular meals as much as junk. That will keep you on meds longer, for sure.
True that conscientious monitoring will help but, I urge you to read up on a process called glycolization. This process shortens cell life by creating protein bonds that are similar to those you get by cooking food.

Glycolization occurs from consistently high blood sugar which diabetics and pre diabetics have.
