Sugar Battles: How to Manage High Blood Sugar

A glucometer (a device to measure blood sugar levels) is fairly inexpensive, but it can provide many benefits. And if at the next medical examination you were offered to pay attention to sugar, do not reject it. Appropriate measurements will help you determine whether and which medications you need.

If, for example, sugar has risen in the morning, this is not scary. But if this happens all the time, your liver may produce too much sugar while you sleep. And this needs to be checked!

To reduce sugar levels, you can exercise more, eat fewer carbs, and generally watch your diet. But you should not take conditional 7 on a glucometer (at a rate of up to 6) as the end of the world and indispensable diabetes. It is quite possible that it was a random jump that will not happen again.

It’s not just food that can raise blood sugar. For some people, it happens due to stress or life troubles and sometimes leads to overeating. And from there – too sweet, and now sugar is breaking records. Such changes, of course, must be monitored.

If the sugar rises often enough, be sure to make an appointment with your doctor. You don’t have to wait for diabetes to fix the problem!

A glass of pumpkin or chicory juice instead of coffee are good options, but short-lived. To keep sugar levels as low as possible, exclude certain foods from your diet:

The result will not keep you waiting if the increase in sugar levels is associated with diet. If the body has not worked properly for a long time, be sure to go to the doctor.
