Lowering your A1C in a month is challenging because the A1C test reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. However, significant lifestyle changes can start to impact your A1C within that timeframe. Here are some steps to help:

  • Dietary Changes: Focus on a low-carb, high-fiber diet. Avoid sugary foods and refined carbs.
  • Exercise: Engage in regular physical activity, such as brisk walking or cycling, for at least 30 minutes a day.
  • Medication: If prescribed, ensure you are taking diabetes medications consistently.
  • Monitor Blood Sugar: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track progress.

While you may not see a dramatic drop in A1C in just one month, these changes can set the foundation for long-term improvement. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
