To lower your fasting blood glucose, consider the following strategies:

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

Always consult with your healthcare provider before making significant changes to your lifestyle or medication regimen.
