To lower your fasting blood sugar levels, consider the following strategies:

  • Dietary Changes: Focus on a balanced diet rich in fiber, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid sugary foods and refined carbohydrates.
  • Regular Exercise: Engage in physical activity such as walking, jogging, or strength training to improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Medication: If prescribed, take diabetes medications or insulin as directed by your healthcare provider.
  • Weight Management: Losing excess weight can significantly improve blood sugar control.
  • Stress Management: Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation or yoga, as stress can elevate blood sugar levels.

It's important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
