If you have diabetes and aim to lower your blood sugar levels quickly, there are several strategies you can employ. Acting promptly can help prevent complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). One of the swiftest methods to lower blood sugar is by administering fast-acting insulin. High blood sugar occurs when your body either produces insufficient insulin or fails to utilize it effectively. The administration of insulin can effectively bring down blood sugar levels. Consult with your doctor to determine the appropriate dosage of rapid-acting insulin to use when your blood sugar is elevated. Engaging in physical exercise is another rapid and efficient approach to reducing blood sugar levels. Exercise has the ability to lower blood sugar for a duration of 24 hours or more. This is due to its capacity to enhance insulin sensitivity within the body. During physical activity, the body demands glucose for energy, prompting cells to deliver glucose to the muscles, which typically leads to a drop in blood sugar levels.
