Article Synopsis
- Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery can cause post-bariatric hypoglycaemia (PBH) due to changes in glucose handling by the liver.
- A study compared RYGB patients with PBH to healthy controls by tracking glucose and hormone levels after consuming glucose, using advanced imaging techniques.
- Results showed that RYGB patients had distinct glucose and insulin responses, including a quicker rise and fall in glucose levels and lower sensitivity to insulin, but did not have impaired liver glucose uptake or output contributing to PBH.
