To lower 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 affect blood sugar control.

It's important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
