To lower fasting blood sugar levels, consider the following strategies:

  • Dietary Changes: Focus on a low-carb, high-fiber diet. Include foods like vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid sugary and processed foods.
  • Regular Exercise: Engage in physical activities such as walking, jogging, or strength training for at least 30 minutes a day.
  • Medication: If prescribed, take diabetes medications or insulin as directed by your healthcare provider.
  • Weight Management: Losing even a small amount of weight can significantly improve blood sugar levels.
  • Stress Management: Practice stress-reducing techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises.

Always consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized plan tailored to your specific needs.
