Comment on: Defining clinically important hypoglycemia in Patients with postbariatric hypoglycemia

Symptomatic postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia syndrome, or postbariatric hypoglycemia (PBH), is a relatively uncommon condition that is clinically recognized 1 –3 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and rarely after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Most patients respond to dietary modifications and medications. However, a small subset of patients develops recalcitrant hypoglycemia with neuroglycopenic (NG) symptoms such as reduced cognition, weakness, dr owsiness, slurred speech, seizures, and loss of consciousness [1,2].
