How Can I Lower My Blood Sugar?
Question: my blood sugar is keeping high 300. i m taking glocotrol 10 ml…how can i lower my blood sugar?
Brief Answer:
A need for increase of dosage may be required
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
The sugar level you have mentioned are higher than normal. But you have mentioned only one sugar level. That could some times happen based on food taken that day or physical activity.
If that is more in more than two occasions, check HbA1c value which gives sugar value of last 3 months. If that is higher, then you need either increase of dose of present medication or addition of new drug to the present medication
discussing with treating doctor.
The food and life style changes to follow are:
Small and frequent rather than heavy meals at a time.
High fibre diet, green leafy vegetables, fruit.
Cut down the processed food. White bread, doughnuts, white sugar, pizza should be completely avoided.
A 40 minute physical activity every day like morning walk, evening walk or a visit to the gym or swimming pool.
Hope this guides you. For any other queries you can write to us. we will be happy to help you. Thank you.
