What to do to help lower blood sugar besides using medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Exercise can lower blood sugar if there is enough Insulin present to put the sugar into cells. If the high blood sugars are from type 2 diabetes eating food with a low glycemic index (less sugar, more fiber) can help. Losing weight can also often help blood sugars return to a more normal range.
