To reduce fasting blood sugar levels, consider the following strategies:

  • Dietary Changes: Focus on a low-carb, high-fiber diet. Avoid sugary foods and refined carbohydrates.
  • 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.
  • Weight Management: Losing excess weight can significantly improve blood sugar control.
  • Stress Management: Practice relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation, as stress can elevate blood sugar levels.

Always consult with your healthcare provider before making significant changes to your diet, exercise, or medication regimen.
