Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia
MONDO:0005803An inherited autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by the disorganized formation of new islets in the pancreas and congenital hyperinsulinism. It is due to focal hyperplasia of pancreatic islet cells budding off from the ductal structures and forming new islets of langerhans. Mutations in the islet cells involve the potassium channel gene kcnj11 or the atp-binding cassette transporter gene abcc8, both on chromosome 11.
Also known as: hyperinsulinemia hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (disease), nesidioblastosis

New PET scan tracer could shine a light on hidden pancreatic tumors
Diagnosis CompletedThis study tested a new radioactive tracer called 18F-Exendin-4, used with PET/CT scans, to see if it can better detect insulinoma—a rare tumor in the pancreas that causes dangerously low blood sugar. Twenty participants with confirmed insulinoma received the tracer and underwent…

Can a smarter glucose monitor stop dangerous lows? small study tests predictive alerts
Symptom relief CompletedThis completed study tested whether a continuous glucose monitor with predictive alerts (Dexcom G7) can reduce low blood sugar better than a standard alert monitor (Dexcom ONE+) in 11 adults with glycogen storage disease or congenital hyperinsulinism. Participants wore each devic…
