If you need to lower your blood sugar levels quickly, consider the following steps:

  • Physical Activity: Engage in moderate exercise like walking or light aerobics. Exercise helps your muscles use glucose for energy, which can lower blood sugar levels.
  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help your kidneys flush out excess glucose through urine.
  • Medication: If you are on insulin or other diabetes medications, take them as prescribed. Rapid-acting insulin can help lower blood sugar quickly.
  • Dietary Adjustments: Avoid high-carbohydrate foods and opt for low-glycemic index foods like non-starchy vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

Always monitor your blood sugar levels and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice, especially if you experience frequent high blood sugar levels.
