The time it takes to lower glucose levels depends on several factors, including the method used and individual health conditions. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Physical Activity: Moderate exercise can lower blood glucose levels within 30 minutes to a few hours.
  • Medication: Insulin or oral medications can lower blood sugar levels within 15 minutes to a few hours, depending on the type of medication.
  • Dietary Changes: Eating low-glycemic foods can help stabilize blood sugar levels over time, typically within a few hours.

It's important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
