My HB1AC is 8.4. How do I reduce it. I am regularly taking my diabetes medication

Ans: An HbA1c of 8.4 indicates uncontrolled diabetes. This can lead to a decreased quality of life due to complications. Lifestyle modifications including following a balanced low glycemic index diet along with exercise is needed for lowering a high HbA1c. Include complex carbohydrates such as brown rice, whole wheat, quinoa, oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, beans, and dals. Foods to avoid include simple carbohydrates, which are processed, such as sugar, pasta, white bread, flour, and cookies, pastries, and namkeens. Starchy or root vegetables should be eaten in moderation along with other fiber rich veggies.. Have salads with each meal to balance sugar levels. Exercise regularly.
