How to lower blood sugar in 15 minutes guaranteed.

Hey guys and girls and ladies and gentlemen. Today we are talking about something super important. How to lower your blood sugar in 15 minutes. Sometimes you're gonna be like my blood sugar is too high. What? Well, don't worry, I'll tell you right now.

I know it sounds crazy, but trust me, I have got three tips that will do wonders for you today. This advice may not replace your doctor's advice; that's not what it's intended for, okay? But rather to complement it.

Are you feeling a little sluggish this morning or this evening? But don't worry, I've got just the trick to kickstart your day and get your numbers under control. The first thing is to grab yourself a glass of water. If you're already running high, more than likely you are somewhat dehydrated as well.

But wait, don't just stop there. Add a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Unless you're one of those people who doesn't really appreciate that tangy goodness of apple cider vinegar.

Also, personally, I love my water with some cut-up cucumber, and if you can't prepare your water the night before with some cucumber in it, that will be great. Just throw them in there and enjoy the flavor. But let me tell you, this simple concoction not only tastes pretty darn delicious, but it also has some serious health benefits for your skin too.

But go ahead and make yourself a glass. Your tummy and your taste buds will be grateful.

All right folks, now it is time to get the blood pumping as well. After you drink that 8 ounce of water, at least in the next 15 minutes, we are going to engage in some physical activity. Don't worry, you're not a marathon runner. I know that any activity will do, whether it's taking a stroll around your block in your neighborhood, or climbing stairs a couple of times, or even stepping up and down, or even doing some seated exercises if you have some back issues, some of you do, right?

But hey, if you are in need of some guidance about this, we've got you covered as well. You can check the Sugar MD's workout and exercise videos from home. We have some inspirational videos on how to lower blood sugar while you're doing seated exercises. So go ahead and check that after this video.

If you need to know how to exercise while sitting and get your numbers down quick, all you have to do is type Sugar MD and search for exercise, home exercise, etc. So let's get to it.

So you did that exercise for 15 minutes. Now it's time to take a break, and then we are going to check our blood sugar again. Okay? So if your blood sugars are not cooperating, don't fret just yet. I would say give maybe another 15 minutes and see if they mellow way out.

Of course, if you are stuck with an infection or some sort of medication like steroids, it may not be a cakewalk. But hey, if you only hit the halfway mark, that is still something to celebrate, right? So if you are down from 300 to 200, that is still something good to celebrate that you did something right.

And sometimes it takes a while for the exercise to show the results. And believe it or not, exercise will show the effect up to 24 hours after the exercise. So let's give it another go and see if you can knock this sugar down and keep this high blood sugar business out of the park.

Let's talk about how water and exercise actually lowers the blood sugar so that you understand, right? So look who's getting smarter with age, right? That's right. Your muscles do get smarter with age. Exercise not only keeps you fit but also increases your muscles' insulin sensitivity.

This means that your muscle cells are better able to take up glucose during and after your workout, which leads to lower blood sugar levels. If that wasn't impressive enough, when your muscles contract during activity, they can still take up glucose even without insulin being present at all.

So next time someone asks you how to lower blood sugar levels, just flex your muscle and give them a cheeky smile. If you're ready to have your blood sugar levels lowering like the stock market during a pandemic, that's how you do it. Physical activity should take your blood on a ride to insulin sensitivity. And trust me, it is not a roller coaster you will want to miss.

But be prepared. It is not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. Depending on how long you are active and other factors, the effect of physical activity that has on your blood sugar can vary. So become besties with your blood sugar monitor and check it before and after exercising to see the benefits.

Now here's a quick tip for you. A lot of people are using glucose monitoring systems—continuous glucose monitoring systems. They will show you blood sugars ups and downs, but may not show you immediate effects of what you're doing because they are lagging behind.

They are typically, especially when your blood sugars are rapidly changing, your CGM will show what real blood sugar is around 20 to 30 minutes later. So you may see your blood sugar may be down to like, let's say 180, but your CGM may show that it is still over 250 or something like that. Just because it didn't catch up with what happened in your body so quickly.

Think of it as a lag in the appreciation of blood sugars because CGM is not really checking your blood sugar; it is checking the tissue fluid. But again, you know, I'm not trying to make a high school science experiment here, but checking your blood sugar is really just doing a finger stick when the blood sugars are rapidly changing is the easiest way to understand.

I know a lot of people don't want to check their blood sugar with the finger stick ever again. But if you want to know the results very quickly, that's what you do. Once you get the habit of this routine, you will start to see some patterns and realize how your body reacts to different activities.

Now understanding these patterns, you know, sometimes your blood sugar will spike if you're intensely exercising because of the adrenaline and other hormones pumping in. You have to also think about that as well—that your blood sugar may go up a little bit, tiny bit first, and then it will come down.

And if you want to prevent that, you need to maybe do like more moderate exercise instead of, you know, doing very intense exercise. So listen up folks, if you are already starting with a high blood sugar, again that's the water part that I'm going to talk about. Why water helps.

You're already a little dehydrated from all that sugar siphoning through your kidneys. Now if you neglect to chug water like a champion and give your kidneys the hydration they need, they are gonna have a heck of a time trying to flush out that extra sugar that is sitting in your blood.

So do yourself a favor and drink up a little bit more. Your kidneys will thank you and your blood sugar levels will be smoother than a punny joke.

Now listen, you're drinking water, you're exercising. That's all you have to do to get your blood sugars down in the next 15 to 30 minutes. Unless, like I said, you're extremely sick, you're on high dose steroids, you're not taking any medicine at all. That's not what I'm talking about.

That I'm talking about in an unusual day that you don't know what happened, your blood sugars are high. You do this and your blood sugar will be down.
