There are simple, effective ways to lower blood sugar that few people expect.

Adjust your diet

One of the most effective ways to control blood sugar is to change your diet.

According to the World Health Organization, eating foods with a low glycemic index helps control blood sugar.

Foods such as green vegetables, fresh fruits, whole grains, beans and nuts have a low glycemic index and help slow the absorption of sugar into the blood, thereby keeping blood sugar levels stable.

Conversely, foods with a high glycemic index, such as white bread, refined rice, and processed foods, can cause a sudden spike in blood sugar levels.

Exercise regularly

Exercise is a very effective way to control blood sugar. Exercise improves insulin sensitivity, meaning that the body can use insulin more effectively, thereby reducing blood sugar levels.

Exercises such as walking, jogging, swimming and cycling are all effective in lowering blood sugar. Regular exercise can reduce blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes by 20–30%.

Lose weight if needed

According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), being overweight is a major risk factor for high blood sugar and type 2 diabetes. Losing weight not only improves your overall health, but it also helps your body use insulin more effectively. Losing 5–10% of your body weight can help improve your blood sugar levels and reduce your risk of diabetes.

Stress Management

Stress can increase blood sugar levels due to the release of cortisol, a hormone that increases blood sugar. Managing stress through methods such as meditation, yoga, or relaxation exercises can help maintain stable blood sugar levels. Chronic stress can lead to increased blood sugar levels. Therefore, it is important to keep your mind relaxed.

Get enough sleep Sleep is important for maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
Not getting enough sleep can reduce the body's ability to use insulin, which can increase blood sugar.Sleeping less than 7 hours a night can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Use medication as directed by your doctor.

For people with diabetes, medication is an important part of blood sugar control. Medication should always be taken as prescribed by your doctor to avoid side effects or hypoglycemia.
