“…However, it is essential to rule out other causes of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia like factitious insulin administration [41,42] or nesidioblastosis. Ceppa et al [43] published an algorithm by including OGTT, C-peptide, proinsulin levels and a 72 hour fasting test. Also, one case of an insulinoma [44] was observed after RYGB, leading to recurrent hypoglycemia.…”

“…The effectiveness of octreotide, at the initial recommended dose of 25-50 µg administered subcutaneously 2-3 times daily and 15-30 min before meals, in ameliorating symptoms of dumping is supported by several randomised trials [23], and this drug may be therefore helpful in some patients [4]. However, in case of severe hypoglycaemic events with neuroglycopenic symptoms, alternative causes of hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (pancreatic beta-cells hyperplasia, insulinoma) should be considered and specific diagnostic algorithms have been proposed [24]. …”

“…Criteria for assessment of effect of bariatric surgery on optimization of metabolic status and some other co-morbid conditions [58] : -HbA1c ≤ 6%, no hypoglycaemia, total cholesterol < 4 mmol/l, LDL-cholesterol < 2 mmol/l, triglycerides < 2.2 mmol/l, blood pressure < 135/85 mmHg, >15% weight loss, or lowering of HbA1c by >20%, LDL< 2.3 mmol/l, blood pressure < 135/85 mm Hg with reduced medication from pre-operative status. In cases of postprandial hypoglycaemic symptoms, evidence for lowered blood glucose concurrent with symptoms should be looked for; patients should first be advised on dietary changes (low carbohydrate diets, regular meal times); second-line drug treatment may be considered, such as acarbose, calcium-channel antagonists, diazoxide, octreotide (EL C [188][189][190][191][192] .) Special care must be taken for: -The possible nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin, protein and other micronutrients.…”
