Scientists probe mysterious low blood sugar after Weight-Loss surgery

NCT ID NCT00992901

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looks at why some people who had gastric bypass surgery develop dangerously low blood sugar years later, while others see their diabetes improve. Researchers will measure gut hormones and nerve signals in 160 volunteers—including those with and without low blood sugar after surgery, plus healthy people who never had the operation. The goal is to understand the body's insulin control better, not to test a new treatment.
