There is no shortcut to achieving any goals. In this case the quickest and the easiest way to reduce blood sugar is by incorporating changes in your day-to-day lifestyle. Make a habit of going for a 30-minute brisk walk every day, followed by regular exercise and yoga. Strictly avoid eating foods that are high in sugar, like desserts, cakes, ice cream and soft drinks.

If you are taking medication, consult your doctor to determine the appropriate dosage to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Lastly, it is advisable to purchase a glucometer and monitor your blood sugar levels every week.
