I would drink plenty of water and go for a walk but at this time of night you might be better going up and down the stairs - you need to burn off some of that glucose which you are unlikly to do very fast sitting or lying down.

Just checked my blood sugers and its quite high at 26.5, is there a quick way to lower this
I have just done mine and the reading is 12.3. I thought it would be a lot lower and I am unsure if this is classed as high or not. I tested about two hours after eating

I believe NICE recommends it to be below 8.5 2 hours after meal, others recommend below 7.8, I normally try for below 8 and by reducing my carb intake at meals can now sometimes get it below 6.

If you don't want to go out for a walk try going up and down the stairs a few times or jogging on the spot in the living room, (or wherever) and drink plenty of water.
