How the body handles carbs after gastric bypass and low blood sugar
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You had a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass at least 2 years ago.
- You have been diagnosed with post-bariatric surgery hypoglycemia (low blood sugar after meals).
- You do not have diabetes (except if you're only on acarbose or miglitol).

This early-phase study looks at how the body’s hormone signals and nerve control affect insulin release after gastric bypass surgery. It may help researchers understand what drives low blood sugar and how to better monitor or treat it.
This study looks at how blood sugar responds after bariatric surgery (or related surgery) and whether changes can be measured over time. It may help doctors better understand which people respond best after surgery.
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 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.
This study looks at how the hormone glucagon affects blood sugar in people who have had gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy surgery more than a year ago, compared to people who have not had any gastrointestinal surgery. It aims to understand glucose metabolism better and may help improve care for people after bariatric surgery.
