Lowering your A1C overnight is not possible, as the A1C test reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. However, you can take steps to improve your blood sugar control over time:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on low-glycemic foods, such as vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
  • Regular Exercise: Engage in physical activity to help your body use insulin more efficiently.
  • Medication Adherence: Take prescribed medications or insulin as directed by your healthcare provider.
  • Monitor Blood Sugar: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to understand how your lifestyle choices affect them.

For personalized advice, consult your doctor or a diabetes care specialist.
