Drink plenty of water and maybe do some gentle walking, long and relaxed. It's going to take a while to come down, possibly days, without medication. You could try and focus on relaxing and de-stressing while you are waiting. 26 is pretty high, so I would not do any activity (maybe gentle activity only) or eat for a while, a 24 hour fast might do you good, unless you are underweight.

There is no way to bring it down quickly.
Make sure you drink enough!

How are you feeling?
If you feel unwell in any way, please seek urgent medical help!

Have you been rcently diagnosed? How are your levels usually? Have you eaten something unusual?

If it doesn't drop in a couple of hours OR if you're feeling unwell, I wouldn't hesitate but go to A&E, this is a potentially dangerous level.
In any case, I'd call 111 for advice.
