To lower your fasting blood sugar level, 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 physical activities 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.
  • Stress Management: Practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation or yoga, as stress can elevate blood sugar.

Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and to monitor your progress.
