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.
  • Regular Exercise: Engage in physical activity like walking, jogging, or strength training to improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Medication: If prescribed, take diabetes medications or insulin as directed by your healthcare provider.
  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help regulate blood sugar levels.
  • Sleep: Ensure you get adequate sleep, as poor sleep can negatively impact blood sugar control.

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