Hi @Chohan g
Given you’re not taking insulin or other blood glucose lowering medication, the best way to reduce your HbA1c is through modifying what you eat.
The key is to restrict carbohydrates as they turn to sugar in the blood. Take a look at this website which has all the information you need including example menus, recipes and information on the carbohydrate content of foods.
If you don’t already have one, a blood glucose meter is a must. Testing is an important way to understand the impact of food on your blood sugar levels. Test immediately before and 2 hours after you’ve eaten. In that way you’ll understand the impact that meal has on your blood sugars. You’re looking for a ride of no more than 2mmols. Any more and there were too many carbs for you to handle and the meal needs adjusting.
Good luck and keep us updated!
