Popis: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) results in significant changes in glucose regulatory mechanisms that are beneficial to most patients, especially those with type 2 diabetes. However, in a small proportion of RYGB patients, these changes can lead to symptomatic postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. This chapter details a diagnostic strategy and options for nonsurgical and surgical treatment of this condition.
