To decrease your Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) numbers, consider the following steps:

  • Dietary Changes: Focus on a balanced diet rich in fiber, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid sugary foods and refined carbohydrates.
  • Regular Exercise: Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking, jogging, or strength training, to improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Weight Management: If overweight, losing even a small amount of weight can significantly improve glucose tolerance.
  • Medication: If prescribed, take medications like metformin to help manage blood sugar levels.
  • Stress Management: Practice stress-reducing techniques such as yoga or meditation, as stress can affect blood sugar levels.

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