The amount your A1C can drop in 3 months without medication depends on several factors, including your current A1C level, lifestyle changes, and overall health. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Lifestyle Changes: Significant improvements in diet, exercise, and weight management can lead to a noticeable drop in A1C. For example, adopting a low-carb diet, increasing physical activity, and losing weight can help reduce A1C levels.
  • Typical Reduction: On average, individuals who make substantial lifestyle changes can see their A1C drop by 1-2% over 3 months. However, this varies widely depending on the individual.
  • Monitoring: Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and A1C is crucial to track progress and make necessary adjustments.

It's important to consult with a healthcare professional to create a personalized plan that suits your specific needs and health conditions.
