While no food can instantly lower your A1C, certain foods can help manage blood sugar levels over time, which may contribute to a lower A1C. Here are some foods to consider:

  • Non-Starchy Vegetables: Broccoli, spinach, and zucchini are low in carbs and high in fiber.
  • Whole Grains: Foods like quinoa, oats, and brown rice have a lower glycemic index.
  • Lean Proteins: Chicken, turkey, and fish can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
  • Healthy Fats: Avocados, nuts, and olive oil can improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Legumes: Beans, lentils, and chickpeas are high in fiber and protein.

It's important to combine these foods with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and any prescribed medications. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
