Dr. Gerard Kerbleski answered

Specializes in Podiatry

Consult nutritionist: Diabetes is a disease of metabolism. If you are underweight, starting an exercise program and considering dietary changes, you really need to consult with a registered nutritionist/ dietician who specializes with patients with diabetes.
