Answered by Dr. Emily Carter, MD

High blood sugar, or hyperglycemia, can be managed through several approaches:

  • Medication: Take prescribed insulin or oral diabetes medications as directed by your healthcare provider.
  • Diet: Focus on a balanced diet with low glycemic index foods, such as whole grains, vegetables, and lean proteins. Avoid sugary and processed foods.
  • Exercise: Regular physical activity helps lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.
  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help flush excess glucose through urine.
  • Monitoring: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to ensure they are within your target range.

If high blood sugar persists or you experience symptoms like extreme thirst, frequent urination, or confusion, seek medical attention immediately.
