How Do I Lower High Blood Sugar?

High blood sugar is extremely dangerous, no ifs or buts.When your body reaches the point where through one reason or another, the glucose levels are unable to be brought down by the body's means, then the situation can spiral out of control fairly quickly. Hyperglycemia is a term commonly used in medical circles. Usually, with a healthy individual with a fully functioning blood sugar control system this is not a problem but through a combination of the wrong lifestyle choices and/or genetic disposition things can get out of control.

It is important to recognize the signs before things go to far.

• Lack of energy at any time of day
• Poor healing from cuts and scrapes, especially on the feel
• Constant craving for high sugar foods
• Constant thirst
• Constant need to visit the toilet
• Feeling blurry or spaced out

Keep close guard over all these classic signs and symptoms of type 2 diabetes. Chances are, if things get this advanced you will already have some suspicion that something is not how it should be. When things have reached this stage, there are several things you can do to help alleviate the problems quickly but you should certainly notify your local GP or doctor as well. Very high blood sugar levels should not be brushed aside as something you will get over with a weekend off.

A few points of practicality.

Immediately stop the ingestion of any form of carbohydrate and sugar. This is a given, by this you are stopping adding fuel to the fire.

Only drink water, no caffeine or fruit juice, beer, wine, fruit teas, nothing just water.

Go for long brisk walks to help burn up the sugar in your system.

Do not eat after 6 pm. Do not eat anything.

Try to go without breakfast, and if you do have breakfast then make sure it is purely protein based eg: eggs, meat, cheese.

These pointers may make you feel a little groggy but for the time being they will certainly help to bring your sugar levels back down to a reasonable level. (Dave Nevard)
