What Treatments Are Suggested For Frontal Lobe Atrophy?
Last May I had to go into the hospital after fainting and hitting my head. I had to be put on insulin, no longer controling blood sugar with oral medication. After a CT Scann I was told I had frontal lobe atrophy. Is there really anything I need to do now??

Hello,
As you had a fall this would have caused atrophy and this is for little time and would have gone vanished by now without any kind of trouble. so don't worry about the atrophy.
Taking to your blood sugar levels, I Will advise you to monitor that. as being on insulin is for symptomatic treatment to control the blood sugar levels.
Modifying the diet, doing regular exercises will help control much.
Please make assure your sugar levels don't drop below the normal limits as it may lead to fainting and fall.
Research studies have shown significant help of exercises and diet along with medications in high blood glucose levels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
