Hi @sam595, I suggest you start by consulting with your primary care physician. She or he will let you know if it is necessary to see a specialists like an endocrinologist. You're on the right track with thinking about your diet and what is right for you. What foods work better for you now that you've reduced sugar and dairy?

Hi @colleenyoung, thank you for your response. I noticed that substituting grains such as rice with quinoa and regular pasta with red lentil pasta was a big help. I also increased the number of green vegetables in my diets such as broccoli, spinach, and etc.
If I was to ask for a referral to see someone at Mayo, which department/doctor should I mention to my primary physician? Also, would you happen to know if any Mayo dermatologists are working on research between sugar and acne? For example, this research: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4565837/
