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

  • Dietary Changes: Focus on a low-carb, high-fiber diet. Avoid sugary foods and refined carbs. Include more vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
  • Regular Exercise: Engage in regular 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.
  • Sleep and Stress Management: Ensure adequate sleep and manage stress through techniques like meditation or yoga.

Always consult with your healthcare provider before making significant changes to your diet, exercise, or medication regimen.
