For a 30-year-old male with a previous HbA1c of 8 percent who has now adopted a clean diet and regular exercise, improvement can usually be seen within 3 months because HbA1c reflects the average blood sugar over the last 2 to 3 months. If you continue strict control, you can expect a drop of about 1 to 1.5 percent every 3 months, depending on how stable your sugars stay. Some people reach a normal range below 5.7 percent in 6 to 9 months with consistent effort. Keep checking fasting and post-meal sugars every few weeks to track daily progress and repeat HbA1c after 12 weeks. Focus on portion control, high-protein meals, regular strength training, and 30 to 45 minutes of activity daily. Avoid long gaps between meals and get enough sleep. If HbA1c remains above 7 despite lifestyle efforts, medical evaluation is needed to prevent complications. For a personalized diabetes reversal (better to say remission) plan, book a consult with me (Dr. Pankaj Kumar) on Practo.
