How do you lower your blood sugar?
I have a few symptoms of high blood sugar so how do you lower it?
I’m not diabetic though.
I was diagnosed with type 2 about 2 yrs ago and it’s been a fight to get my glucose lowered. When I was first diagnosed, my glucose was 428. First of all I’ve learned to ELIMINATE POTATOES or any white breads. Potatoes carry a high ratio of carbs, which turn into sugar in the blood stream and same goes for ANYTHING with white flour: pizza, subs with white bread, most sauces (that are high in carbs), fries, pie (including those that say "no sugar added", because the crust is still made with….white flour). No cereals, they contain LOTS of sugar and carbs which will jack your glucose into the sky. In other words…low carbs in your diet. Eat fish, white chicken breast (dark chicken contains high amounts of cholesterol), lots of salads w/out the thick dressings such as 1000 island, fresh veggies, some fruit will jack your glucose up but at a much slower rate and they contain fiber which will help carry out some of the sugar. (stay away from anything canned or boxed), because processed foods contain lots of salt to preserve them and then you’ll give yourself a case of high blood pressure on top of diabetes. Also, exercise, exercise, exercise. It helps stimulate the pancreas which controls your blood sugar. Google "pancreas".
These are just a few things to help lower blood sugar, and it’s a daily fight. Before I found out I had diabetes, i was driving down the freeway at 60 mph and all of a sudden I felt "fuzzy-buzzy" and I was out like a light. I did 5k damage to my truck, thank God no one else was near me as it was 3 am. Diabetes will sneak up on you,and it’s nothing to play around with. Google "type 2 diabetes" and it should give you more information. Google "American Diabetes Association" and you can get a pletheora amount of information, best of luck.

Drink water, exercise, eat healthier & eat less.
Not all of these specifically help lower blood sugar, but these are the ideal things for anyone to do to help curve their blood sugar range. (Aside from insulin)

Daily exercise – even if it’s just walking a half hour a day and avoiding processed sugar foods.
Also, try whole grain breads (like the 40 calorie breads) and don’t eat any candy, cookies and limit your pasta, white bread and potatoes.
