Hb1ac 5.8.whst should i do

Ans: An HbA1c level of 5.8% indicates that your average blood sugar levels are slightly elevated. To lower these levels, focus on consuming carbohydrates that are high in fiber and nutrients, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Avoid refined carbs like white bread and sugary snacks. Use measuring cups and a kitchen scale to keep track of portion sizes. Include non-starchy vegetables, lean protein (like chicken/fish) or tofu, beans, nuts, with whole grains (like brown rice or quinoa). Eating at regular intervals helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Limit processed foods. Drink plenty of water and limit sugary beverages.
Monitor blood sugar regularly. Stay active.
