How long I have to wait to reduce my blood sugar level?

two weeks ago I diagnose that I have high blood sugar. As soon as I diagnose, I start exercise and balance my diet. So my sugar level is now getting down but not to the normal level. So how long I have to check so that I have to concern to doctor. It may go down as my brother has same experience but how long??

Update:

My level is around 140 to 160 in fasting and 160 to 185 2hr after meal.

    It takesa LONG time for the levels to get down and stay down. And when they do, you must NOT give up on your exercise and diet. if you do not maintain the regiment, the blood sugars will go back up.

    It can take WEEKS for the blood sugars to get low enough. In the mean time, you are damaging your body.

    That is why most doctors recommend oral medications IN ADDITION TO diet and exercise -- to get those blood sugars down FAST. If the levels are very high, the doctor may recommend insulin injections.

    This is a wise move. The longer your blood sugars stay high, the more damage you do -- and much of it can be permenent. So many doctors recommend oral medications and/or insulin, then "ween" you off of them as you gain contol of the disease with diet and medications.

    So far as checking, it seems as though you may need to continue checking for the rest of your life. Diabetes is NOT curable -- only controllable.

    First you didn't say what your levels are, so please add to your question if you can with a few more details. Secondly you didn't say if your Dr. has added Metformin or any other drug regime. Please tell us a little more so we can provide a better answer.

    Normal is 80-120 (assuming you're in the US) and spikes no higher than 140-180 after a meal, preferably staying in the 140 or less range.

    Exercise drops your blood glucose levels very quickly, particularly if it's strenuous.

    However, diet and exercise together, consistently, is the ONLY way to drop your levels into the normal range and keep them there, possibly with the addition of medication, most commonly "Metformin" or Glucophage (same thing, different name) which must be taken every day. You could possibly need to take insulin as well (I do) just to keep things in check.

    Regarding diet, obviously no sugar and LOW CARB... Carb's are you ENEMY. Eat fewer than 30g per meal (I personally strive for 20g or less) and you'll find things are starting to normalize.

    Please tell us more when you have time.

    I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

    I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

    I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

    If your sugar goes over 300 or AT ANY TIME YOU EXPERIENCE THE SYMPTOMS OF DKA OR SHOW KETONES OR HIGH LEVELS OF GLUCOSE IN YOUR URINE. All diabetics should have urine test strips for glucose and ketones. If your meter reads "HIGH", you should call 911 IMMEDIATELY. Most meters have a cutoff around 500-600 and if a sugar level is higher than that, it will read "high". EMT Type 1, pump user

    Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.

    Diabetics can eat anything a non-diabetic can eat. You just have to make an adjustment for carbs/sugars. Learn here https://tr.im/a6JKm

    It is better for diabetics to eat slow burning carbs: potatoes, peanut butter, vegetables, breads, dairy products, etc. VS. fast burning carbs: candy, sugared soda, cakes, ice cream, anything high in sugar. Just know what your carb/insulin ratios (how much insulin you have to give yourself for the amount of carbs you are intaking) are. Adjust according to the amount of carbs(sugars) you are intaking. And, you should be fine. Natural sugars are better than processed sugars.
