Diet,supps &meds but: Hba1c shows your average blood sugar for the past 3 months so even if your blood sugar is totally normal the next 2 weeks it might only go to 7.9. Diet, exercise, supps & meds like metformin help. The best diet appears to be raw vegan- see http://www.Naturalnews.Com/028341_diabetes_living_foods.Html for more info on supps & herbs see http://altmedicine.About.Com/cs/conditionsatod/a/diabetes.Htm.

Impossible: Since the a1c measures your average glucose level over the past three months, it is impossible to lower it in that short a time. However, it is important to begin now to lower your value toward normal and then keep it there forever. 8.3 is too high and can shorten your life.
