Endocrine Abstracts

Bariatric or metabolic surgery, such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy are becoming increasingly prevalent as these treatments are now recommended as treatment choices for obesity and type 2 diabetes. Post-bariatric hypoglycaemia (PBH), typically a post-prandial hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia occurring 1-3 hr after ingestion of food, is now more commonly encountered in practice, presenting either to endocrine/metabolic outpatient clinics or during medical on-calls. In this talk I will review the presentation and aetiology of this condition, with remarks on the diagnostic tests. I will also speak about the management of this condition.
