Glucose Metabolism in 105 Children and Adolescents After Pancreatectomy for Congenital Hyperinsulinism

Abstract

Patients with focal congenital hyperinsulinism are cured of hypoglycemia after limited surgery, while the outcome of diffuse congenital hyperinsulinism is very variable after near-total pancreatectomy. The incidence of insulin-dependent diabetes is very high in early adolescence.
