Study nutrient flow in people with low blood sugar after surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how food moves through the body and how that may affect episodes of low blood sugar caused by too much insulin. It may help researchers better understand and possibly improve care for people who get hypoglycemia, especially after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 70.
- If you had bariatric surgery, it was more than 6 months ago (not required for non-surgical comparison groups).
- You have a history of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (not required for post-bariatric and non-surgical comparison groups).
- You are not taking sulfonylurea medicines or other glucose-affecting medicines close to the study start; you may need a washout period.
- You have no insulinoma (a specific pancreas tumor) and no current pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- You do not have a recent active infection or serious illness within 2 weeks of dosing, and your blood tests show adequate kidney and liver function.
- You are not allergic to the study meal or any study medications. If you could become pregnant, you must use effective birth control.

This study tests a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that tracks your blood sugar) to see if it helps manage symptoms of late dumping syndrome—a condition causing low blood sugar after meals—in people who had gastric bypass surgery at least a year ago.
This study looks at blood flow in a neck artery in people who have low blood sugar after bariatric surgery compared to healthy individuals. It may help understand why some people experience hypoglycemia after weight loss surgery.
This trial tests whether a new way of using glucose monitoring can help manage low blood sugar that happens after meals in people who have had gastric bypass surgery. It aims to find better ways to track and treat these episodes.
This study looks at how the body handles carbohydrates after eating in people who have had gastric bypass surgery, with or without post-surgery hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). The goal is to understand why some people get low blood sugar after meals and how to better manage it.
This early trial studies how blood sugar moves in people after certain weight-loss surgery compared with people without surgery. It may help researchers understand why blood sugar can drop too low and how treatments like atropine affect that process.
This study uses continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), small devices that track blood sugar levels, in people having weight-loss (metabolic) surgery. It aims to understand how blood sugar changes after surgery and may help improve care.
