Abstract

Reactive hypoglycemia is characterized by low blood glucose level in non-diabetic patients. It manifests as a syndrome of adrenergic and neuroglycopenic symptoms in the postprandial period, and their resolution occurs after consuming carbohydrates. The etiology of reactive hypoglycemia is not fully understood. It may occur in patients after gastrointestinal surgery due to too fast gastric emptying. Decreases in postprandial glucose are also observed in people with a pre-diabetes condition in which insulin secretion is disturbed. Hypoglycaemia can also be seen in patients with insulin resistance and hyperinsulinism. The aim of this study was to summarize existing knowledge about reactive hypoglycemia - etiology, diagnostic model and treatment.
