Guest guest Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hello! I am hoping someone can help me with a patient I saw today that has been having severe hypoglycemic episodes 1 hour usually after eating. She has been eating more regularly now and including protein with every meal and does not eat any sugary foods and reads labels for sugars. Her episodes have decreased with eating more frequently but are still about 1 time per week to the point of almost passing out. It sounds like late dumping syndrome to me and I believe they have ruled out nesidioblastosis and insulinoma. My question is what other nutrition advice can I give her other than eating regularly, including protein with meals and avoiding meals/snacks that contain too many simple sugars. If anyone has had more experience with these patients I would love to hear what you recommend! Thanks for your help.
