To lower fasting glucose levels, consider the following strategies:

  • Dietary Changes: Focus on a balanced diet rich in fiber, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid refined sugars and processed foods.
  • Regular Exercise: Engage in regular physical activity, such as brisk walking, cycling, or strength training, to improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight can significantly impact fasting glucose levels.
  • Medication: If prescribed, take diabetes medications or insulin as directed by your healthcare provider.
  • Sleep and Stress Management: Ensure adequate sleep and manage stress through techniques like meditation or yoga, as both can affect glucose levels.

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