Abstract

Highlights Inactivating mutations of the ABCC8 gene usually cause hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. We report a family in which people with the inactivating mutation have progressed hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia to hyperglycemia. Treatment with incretin‐related drugs might be a useful therapeutic approach to hyperglycemia in people with the inactivating mutation.
