Summary

Postprandial hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia is an increasingly recognized adverse side effect of bariatric surgery. Affected individuals experience low glucose levels 1-3 hours after intake of meals, accompanied by symptoms such as drowsiness, sweating, hunger and palpitations. Hypoglycaemia can be serious and have potential dangerous health impact (e.g. road accident or fall due to loss of consciousness). The pathophysiology is incompletely understood and more research is needed in search of preventive and therapeutic strategies.
