There are a few ways to lower blood sugar levels quickly, including ...
Exercise
Exercise helps your body use insulin better and burn off excess sugars. You can try a calf raise, which you can do while sitting.
Rapid-acting insulin
Taking rapid-acting insulin, like Humalog, Novolog, or Apidra, is the quickest way to lower blood sugar levels.
Eat fiber
Fiber is a complex carbohydrate that your body doesn't break down into glucose, so it doesn't cause blood sugar to spike.
Soluble fiber, which is found in apples, avocados, beans, and other foods, is especially good for controlling blood sugar.
Drink water
Drinking water helps your kidneys filter out excess sugar through urine.
Other ways to manage blood sugar include:
Eating at regular times and not skipping meals
Choosing foods that are lower in calories, saturated fat, sugar, and salt
Tracking your food, drink, and physical activity
Limiting sugary drinks, like soda, juice, and sports drinks
Improving your sleep
