Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Yes: Eat frequent balance meals with protein, healthy fat, and complex carbohydrates. Make sure you follow with your doctor to get checked for early signs of Insulin resistance - a condition that can lead to type ii diabetes. This could be an early sign and this condition is reversable and preventable.
