The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Increasing your A1C is not recommended as it indicates higher blood sugar levels, which can lead to diabetes complications. However, if your A1C is too low, it may indicate hypoglycemia or other health issues. Here are some general tips to manage your blood sugar levels:

  • Monitor your diet: Avoid excessive sugar and refined carbs, and focus on balanced meals.
  • Exercise regularly: Physical activity helps regulate blood sugar levels.
  • Follow your treatment plan: If you have diabetes, take medications or insulin as prescribed.

If your A1C is abnormally low, consult your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
