Lowering your A1C in a month is possible, but it depends on your current levels and lifestyle changes. Here are some strategies:

  • Diet: Focus on a low-carb, high-fiber diet. Avoid sugary foods and refined carbs.
  • Exercise: Regular physical activity, such as brisk walking or cycling, can help improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Medication: If prescribed, ensure you’re taking diabetes medications consistently.
  • Monitoring: Check your blood sugar levels regularly to track progress.

While significant improvements can be made, A1C reflects an average over 2-3 months, so dramatic changes in one month may be limited. Always consult your healthcare provider for a personalized plan.
