ABSTRACT

Bariatric procedures have been shown to decrease mortality in patients with obesity and even induce remission of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obstructive sleep apnea. One common complication of bariatric surgery is hypoglycemia, which can be observed months to years later and can significantly impact patient lifestyle. No medications are currently approved for this indication. In this article, we discuss the treatment options available and being studied for post-bariatric surgery hypoglycemia (PBH).
