The time it takes to lower blood glucose levels depends on several factors, including the severity of the high blood sugar, the methods 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 start lowering blood sugar within 15-30 minutes, with effects lasting several hours.
  • Dietary Changes: Eating low-glycemic foods can help stabilize blood sugar levels over a few hours.

For sustained blood sugar management, consistent lifestyle changes and medical supervision are essential. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
