[QUOTE="frash_00, post: 2381185, member: 540484"] Thank you for the detailed and quick response [USER=85785]@Lamont D[/USER] ! I cannot find any papers talking about the link of reactive hypoglycemia and gastric bypass. Did they identify why that surgery may cause RH? Is it the significant amount of weight loss, or some other aspect of that surgery that causes it? My doctor though the episode where I collapsed in the middle of the night was due to low blood sugar from being on too high of a dose of Metformin. Also, I believe Metformin affects how effective insulin is... I think it makes it more effective. So, I imagine getting off of Metformin reduces insulin's effectiveness in the body. Is it possible that after getting off Metformin that my body because less efficient using insulin and so now it's creating more of it to compensate, causing this? [/QUOTE]
