To reduce your HbA1c levels, consider the following strategies:

  • Dietary Changes: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, and vegetables. Limit intake of refined sugars and processed foods.
  • Regular Exercise: Engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, such as brisk walking or cycling.
  • Medication Adherence: Take prescribed medications consistently and as directed by your healthcare provider.
  • Weight Management: If overweight, losing even a small amount of weight can significantly improve blood sugar control.
  • Monitor Blood Sugar: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to understand how different foods and activities affect your glucose levels.

It's important to work closely with your healthcare provider to create a personalized plan for managing your HbA1c levels.
