Lowering your A1C level involves managing your blood sugar over time. Here are some effective strategies:

  • Dietary Changes: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Limit refined sugars and processed foods.
  • Regular Exercise: Engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week, such as walking, cycling, or swimming.
  • Medication Adherence: Take prescribed medications or insulin as directed by your healthcare provider.
  • Weight Management: 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 you.

For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider to create a tailored plan.
