That is going to be a personal decision and one that you'll have to monitor closely. Do you regularly visit your doc for labs? The doc may reduce your meds if your A1c has improved. Diabetes doesn't just go away, but if you are able to maintain great control with diet and exercise, then that would be best case scenario for you! I'd get the labs done to see where I stand before I'd make the decision. :)

Jolie is right. You really need to go get your A1C checked. Stress obviously has a major impact on your BS's and can have caused you to be high. Have you lost weight? This can also improve your readings as you know! 120 fasting is considered borderline from my endocrinologist. Are you testing 2 hours after eating? Again, go see your doc and get your A1C done. That is our best "report card!" Best of luck. Yes, denial is a wonderful and happy place to be! You just don't want to wake up and hear your doctor say "you are in kidney failure, we need to start you on dialysis immediately" or any of the other complications this disease can bring. Not a road you should take if you can avoid it! See your doc, adjust meds if necessary but it's like being pregnant, either you are or you aren't! Good luck!
