How to prevent Acute pancreatitis?

1. Eat 5-6 times a day but only slightly. This schedule can help with the slow digestion of what we eat. For diabetics, your blood sugar will not rise too much. For a snack, it can be just a banana or an apple. For dinner, you can have only half a cup of rice, broth, and a dish. You will not get fat here because you eat very little.
