How do I resolve the OSError when reading accelerometer data from MPU6050 using MicroPython?

Hello guys am working on a Project Gesture Recognition and Error Handling with MPU6050 Accelerometer Using MicroPython. How do capture and display accelerometer data from the MPU6050 sensor using MicroPython properly, i have made sure that the sensor is properly initialized and the sensor is positioned correctly when reading the values, but still getting the error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "mpu6050.py", line 45, in get_accel_data
OSError: Failed to read accelerometer data

Solution
Consider adding a small delay after initialization and using a lower I2C clock speed
