My HBA1C is 5.7, what should I do in terms of diet and activity?

Question

You have to exercise and eat healthy to keep HBA1C in normal range. Start by cutting out refined carbohydrates, bakery items, sugar (in all forms) and oily foods from your diet completely. Go for more fruits, vegetables and protein in your meals. Snack on seeds, nuts,fresh fruits, sprouts etc. Start out with a 30-40 minute walk daily. Once you start yourself on this lifestyle change you will suddenly notice weight shedding off and this will also help keep blood glucose in control.
