How to lower my A1C levels overnight?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Do you have to fast for an A1C blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Dear Sir/mam, My recent test shows that my fasting glucose level has exceeded the normal range for the first time. I do not have a family history of diabetes. Could you please advise if this requires immediate concern? Additionally, I would appreciate your guidance on dietary and lifestyle modifications to help prevent any further increase. I have attached my report for your reference. Thank you.
