Gut microbiome linked to hypoglycemia in new study

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Hepatic disease, including serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) greater than or equal to 3 times the upper limit of normal; hepatic synthetic insufficiency as defined as serum albumin \< 3.0 g/dL; or serum bilirubin \> 2.0; 4. Congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II, III or IV; 5. History of myocardial infarction, unstable angina or revascularization within the past 6 months or 2 or more risk factors for coronary artery disease including diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled hyperlipidemia, and active tobacco use. 6.
