Tips to counter hyperglycemia

When a person’s glucose levels increases over a certain concentration, it can cause high blood sugar or hyperglycemia. This condition is often found in diabetics or those resistant to the effects of the insulin hormone.
High blood sugar levels can lead to a variety of complications over time including nerve damage, heart disease, and vision problems. Low levels can cause more immediate problems such as dizziness, confusion, and potentially a loss of consciousness.
Exercise
Physical activity increases insulin sensitivity, which can help control blood sugar. Get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise at least five days during the week. How to tell if your intensity level is moderate? You should be able to talk but not be out of breath or able to sing out loud, according to the ADA.
Count your carbs
Carbohydrates have the biggest impact on your blood sugar, so monitoring the amount of carbs in your meal plan can help keep blood sugar levels steady. The ADA recommends aiming for 45 to 60 grams of carbohydrate at each meal. Working with a certified diabetes educator or registered dietitian can help you set your personal goals for meals and snacks and master carb counting
Plan next meal carefully
People with diabetes follow a eating plan devised by a doctor or a nutritionist. If you are experiencing hyperglycemia symptoms, then stick to the diet plan. Cut back on portion sizes and reduce snacking in between meals. Completely cut out sweetened drinks from your daily meal.
Seek medical advice
If you are on medication for controlling your diabetes, then take it without fail. If you feel there is a disparity in regular blood sugar levels, talk to your doctor if you require a change in your medication dosage. A medical professional can also help rule out other illnesses or infections that can arise from hyperglycemia.
