Close monitoring: Close monitoring of your blood glucose levels is advised. Please follow up with your Endocrinologist and Pediatrician. These symptoms may be due to poor circulation. Exercise normally unless there is respiratory distress or chest pain. Follow your dietary restrictions, drink fluids and monitor your temperature.
