She explains the signs of high blood sugar and insulin resistance, and the importance of getting the right lab tests to determine blood sugar levels. Dr. Danielle also provides tips for improving blood sugar balance, including having a high protein breakfast, ordering meals in a specific way, and incorporating movement after meals.
