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

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables. Avoid sugary foods and refined carbs.
  • Regular Exercise: Engage in physical activity for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. Exercise helps improve insulin sensitivity and lowers blood sugar.
  • 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.
