About Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia

Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia, also known as nesidioblastosis, is related to hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, familial, 1 and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, familial, 3. An important gene associated with Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia is ABCC8 (ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily C Member 8), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Metabolism and Integration of energy metabolism. The drugs Somatostatin and Lanreotide have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include pancreatic islet, pancreas and pituitary, and related phenotypes are Reduced mammosphere formation and homeostasis/metabolism

Major Symptoms of Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia

The main symptoms of Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia include:

1. Hunger: Patients will feel hungry, and this hunger is often unbearable. This is caused by a drop in blood sugar levels due to insufficient insulin secretion.

2. Blood sugar fluctuations: Blood sugar levels will show large fluctuations. At certain moments, blood sugar may rise, and at other times, blood sugar may drop. This fluctuation can lead to health problems such as arrhythmias.

3. Fatigue: Because blood sugar levels frequently fluctuate, patients may experience fatigue and weakness, which may affect their daily lives.

4. Headache: Some patients may experience headache symptoms, especially when blood sugar drops.

5. Nausea: Some patients may experience nausea, especially after breakfast or exercise.

6. Weight changes: Some patients may experience weight changes, gaining weight at certain times and losing weight at other times.

7. Skin problems: Some patients may develop skin problems such as itching and rashes. If you have these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to determine whether you have hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.

Suitable Lifestyle for People with Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia

Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia is a rare metabolic disease characterized by excessive secretion of insulin, resulting in blood sugar levels below the normal range. People with Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia need to pay attention to their diet and lifestyle. Here are some lifestyle suggestions suitable for them:

1. Diet control: People with Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia need to control their diet and avoid excessive intake of sugar and fat. It is recommended to reduce the intake of sugar and carbohydrates and increase the intake of protein and dietary fiber. Foods such as lean meats, fish, poultry, legumes, vegetables, fruits and whole grains can be included in the diet.

2. Exercise: Moderate exercise can help the body better control blood sugar levels. It is recommended to perform aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, etc. , and avoid high-intensity exercise and excessive exercise.

3. Weight control: People with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia are usually overweight or obese, so they need to control their weight to reduce the burden of excessive insulin secretion. Healthy diet and exercise are recommended to help control weight.

4. Avoid irritating foods: Some foods may stimulate excessive insulin secretion, causing blood sugar levels to rise. People with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia should avoid these foods, such as coffee, tea, chocolate, desserts, etc.

5. Supplement nutrients: People with Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia may need to supplement certain nutrients, such as vitamin B12, calcium and magnesium. It is recommended to supplement these nutrients in the diet, or to seek advice from a doctor or nutritionist.
