Natural fluctuations in blood sugar

Every day, your blood sugar levels naturally change. Your blood sugar can be affected by a variety of factors, such as the number of carbohydrates you eat, your physical activity level, quality of sleep, stress, etc.

Your A1C readings, which reflect the average of your blood sugar over several months, might be impacted by fluctuating blood sugar. Regular blood sugar testing will help you understand how various things affect your blood sugar and can also help you in keeping your goal range. To help manage your blood sugar levels, your doctor might recommend one or more of the following: changes to your diet, exercise routine, or other lifestyle habits; oral medications, injectable medications, or a combination of both; weight-loss surgery, etc.
