To lower your fasting blood sugar, 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 regular physical activity, such as walking, jogging, or strength training, to improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Medication Adherence: Take prescribed medications or insulin as directed by your healthcare provider.
  • Weight Management: If overweight, losing even a small amount of weight can significantly improve blood sugar levels.
  • Stress Management: Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation or yoga, as stress can elevate blood sugar.

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