Given your three-month average, attempting to manage your blood sugar through diet and exercise is a very safe and highly reasonable next step. Slightly elevated fasting blood sugar can often be improved by adjusting evening meals and staying active. I encourage you to partner with your doctor to monitor your progress as you transition to lifestyle management.
