Temidayo Rosemary

For most individuals with type 2 diabetes, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) improves glucose management. However, a small percentage of people experience a life-threatening hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia consequence. The objective of this study is to highlight pathogenesis-driven diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for hypoglycemia, as well as the underlying processes through which RYGB induce this disease.
