204 - Possible ways to lower your A1C (blood sugar) Not a Doctor, just a guy.
I am not a doctor and this is NOT medical advice.
Go talk to your DR.
Are you a man over 40 or 50 worried about your blood sugar, prediabetes, or A1C levels? In this episode, health and fitness coach Andy McCann breaks down exactly how to lower your A1C quickly—even if you haven’t lost weight yet.
You'll learn:
✅ What A1C is and why it's critical for men over 40
✅ The fastest, most effective ways to lower blood sugar naturally
✅ The truth about post-meal walks, intermittent fasting, and eating real food
✅ What the "Drop Dead Years" are (ages 50–65) and how to avoid becoming a statistic
✅ The shocking fact that for many men, the first symptom of heart disease is sudden death—and what to do about it
Andy shares practical, real-world advice for busy dads, shift workers, and guys trying to stay strong, functional, and alive as they age.
What Is A1C?
A1C (or HbA1c) is a 3-month average of your blood sugar levels.
- It measures the percentage of sugar stuck to your red blood cells (which live ~90 days).
- A higher A1C = higher average blood glucose = higher risk for insulin resistance, diabetes, inflammation, etc.
Here’s the rough scale:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Pre-diabetic: 5.7% – 6.4%
- Diabetic: 6.5%+
So if Jay had “great A1C in the past” but hit pre-diabetic recently, it means his body’s glucose control slipped over the last few months, likely from creeping carbs, stress, sleep, or even just age catching up.
