How high is high?

To lower blood sugar without injecting insulin, moderate exercise (extended), drink plenty of water, eat no carbs (only fats and some proteins).

If your blood sugar is really high, say over 180 - 200 and you can't get it down, as diabetes86 said, it is time to go see your dr. urgently, or the ER.  You may need insulin to bring your sugars down.

Please come back and let us know how you are going.

Hi,
Never heard of an alternative to insulin when the sugar rises at alarming rate. Metformin, is the choice of drug now a days. As for home remedies you could try bitterguad juice. Have 2 glasses one in the morning and one in the evening. A bit of exercise is also good, but do not exercise when your sugar is high ( lol ). You could Amla too. Bitterguad is a preffered choice by the folks back at home. It works, should try it out for atleast 2 months. Consult a DM specialist if your sugar level doesn't reduce. It may be a cause in pancreas.

Thank You
