When blood glucose levels spike above the target range, taking immediate action is critical to prevent complications, with the fastest and most preferred method (for those prescribed it) being the administration of rapid-acting insulin under a doctor's guidance. Beyond medication, the most effective non-pharmacological strategy is physical activity, as the contracting muscles instantly draw glucose from the bloodstream for energy, making even a quick 10-15 minute walk or burst of stair climbing highly beneficial. Additionally, drinking plenty of plain water helps the kidneys flush excess sugar out of the body through urine, while avoiding any further carbohydrate intake is essential to stop the glucose level from climbing higher, but it is crucial to re-check blood sugar levels after any intervention to prevent the potentially dangerous complication of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).Read article - How to Lower Blood Sugar Immediately Hosted on Acast.
