To lower fasting glucose levels, consider the following strategies:

  • Dietary Changes: Focus on a balanced diet rich in fiber, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid sugary foods and refined carbohydrates.
  • Regular Exercise: Engage in regular physical activity, such as brisk walking, cycling, or strength training, to improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Weight Management: Losing excess weight can significantly improve fasting glucose levels.
  • Medication: If prescribed, take diabetes medications or insulin as directed by your healthcare provider.
  • Stress Management: Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises.
  • Sleep: Ensure you get adequate sleep, as poor sleep can negatively impact blood sugar levels.

Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and monitoring.
