Tips for high blood sugar
1- Get insulin
A diabetic patient with hyperglycemia should receive insulin, according to the dosage prescribed by the doctor, as it helps lower glucose to the normal range within a period of 15 to 30 minutes.
2- Doing sports
Sport helps reduce high blood sugar, because physical activity contributes to improving insulin sensitivity in the body and transferring glucose to the muscles to provide them with energy.
But before exercising, the percentage of ketones in the urine must be measured, and if it is high, avoid strenuous exercise, because intense physical activity in this case raises blood sugar sharply.

3- Eat fiber
Dietary fiber plays a major role in controlling blood sugar, as it helps slow the absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine, so it is recommended to eat foods rich in them, such as vegetables and whole grains, when glucose is high.
4- Avoid stress
It is necessary to avoid stress as much as possible, because it stimulates the brain to produce stress hormones, which in turn lead to a sharp rise in blood sugar.
5- Quit smoking
It is necessary to quit smoking when the sugar is high, because nicotine leads to an increase in glucose in the blood and makes the body resistant to the hormone insulin.
