how to raise your a1c

The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Raising your A1C is not recommended as it indicates higher blood sugar levels, which can lead to complications like diabetes, heart disease, and kidney damage. Instead, focus on maintaining a healthy A1C level (below 5.7% for non-diabetics).

If your A1C is too low (below 4%), consult your doctor to rule out conditions like hypoglycemia or anemia. To manage your A1C effectively:

• Monitor your diet: Avoid excessive sugar and refined carbs.
• Exercise regularly: Physical activity helps regulate blood sugar.
• Follow medical advice: Take prescribed medications and monitor blood sugar levels as directed.

Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
