My fasting blood sugar is usually around 108 to 115, and I dont take any diabetic medication. I exercise regularly, but I want to get my fasting sugar levels into the 90s. What can I do to bring it down without using any diabetes medicine?

To lower your fasting blood sugar from 108-115 to the 90s without medication, focus on these lifestyle modifications: increase aerobic exercise duration/intensity (aim for 150 minutes/week), incorporate strength training (2-3 times/week), lose weight if needed (aim for 5-10% reduction), adopt a balanced diet with whole, unprocessed foods, increase fiber intake (aim for 25-30 grams/day), drink plenty of water, manage stress through yoga or meditation, and aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night; monitor your progress
