To lower your A1C levels, focus on a balanced diet that includes:

  • Non-Starchy Vegetables: Such as broccoli, spinach, and peppers. These are low in carbs and high in fiber.
  • Whole Grains: Like quinoa, oats, and brown rice. They help stabilize blood sugar levels.
  • Lean Proteins: Such as chicken, turkey, tofu, and fish. Protein helps maintain steady blood sugar levels.
  • Healthy Fats: Found in avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. These fats can improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Low-Glycemic Fruits: Such as berries, apples, and pears. These fruits have a lower impact on blood sugar.

Avoid sugary foods, refined carbs, and processed foods, as they can spike blood sugar levels. Always consult with a healthcare provider or dietitian for a personalized meal plan.
