  1. Noninsulinoma Pancreatogenous Hypoglycemia Syndrome (NIPHS) and Mixed Meal Tests Presented by: Michelle Gelfand Dietetic Intern

  2. What is it? • NIPHS= hypoglycemia caused by hyper secretion of insulin by the pancreas but not caused by an insulinoma (tumor on the pancreas) • Pts have postprandial hypoglycemia (2-5 hrs after eating) and may have nesidioblastotisis • Nesidioblastotisis = hypertrophy of the islets cells of the pancreas

  3. Clinical Features • Can be a complication of bariatric surgery • Predominantly seen in males • Neuroglycopenic symptoms (BG < 55-50 mg/dL): dizziness, confusion, tiredness, difficulty speaking, weakness, lightheadedness, cloudy vision, shakiness, sweating, loss of consciousness (Goldman. 2011, Bantle et al. 2007)

  4. Theories of Why It Happens Post Bariatric Surgery • Changing the anatomy of the GI tract changes insulin secretion -> nutrients being absorbed rapidly • The islet cells increase and/or less apoptosis • Beta cells are hypertrophied before surgery and fail to regress after significant weight loss • Failure to adaptively decrease insulin secretion after surgery • Acquired phenomenon (McLaughlin et al. 2010, Meier et al. 2006)

  5. How is it diagnosed? • Whipple’s triad: hypoglycemia symptoms, low BG, and resolution when BG is raised • Majority have a negative 72-hour fast • Mixed meal tolerance test • Positive selective arterial calcium stimulation test (SACST) • CT, US • Pathology confirmation

  6. How is it treated? • Dietary modification: reduce carbohydrate intake (Service. 2012), high protein, low carbohydrate diet (VCU Patient Education Manual) • Meds: acarbose, octreotide, verapamil, & diazoxide (Service. 2012) & GLP-1 receptor antagonist (Salehi et al. 2014) • G-tube placement? (McLaughlin et al. 2010) • Reversal of gastric bypass surgery (Lee et al. 2013) Note: did not work • Partial or subtotal pancreatectomyif severe (Service. 2012)

  7. Diet after Bariatric Surgery • Lifelong • Focused on receiving adequate protein (60-80 g/day) • ½ cup servings at a time (some can eat more as time goes on) • Avoid refined carbohydrates/simple sugars (can cause dumping/weight gain) • No more than 5 g sugar on nutrition label • Beverages separated from meals (30 min before and 60-90 min after) • 1200 calories/day

  8. Diet after Bariatric Surgery (Cont.) - ASMBS Guidelines • One study highlighted that many patients are noncompliant with diet and exercise recommendations (Elkins et al. 2005)

  9. Mixed Meal Test • Many methodologies used in varying studies: - Ensure Plus/Ensure High Protein liquid meal (Salehi et al. 2014, Khoo et al. 2013, Lee et al. 2013) - Eggs, Canadian bacon or steak, and Jell-O (Della Man et al, 2013) - 75 g glucose in water, 40 g parmesan cheese, and eggs (Camastra et al. 2013) - High and low carbohydrate meal (1 of each) (Bantle et al. 2007) - Subject’s own meal (Goldman. 2011, Service. 2012)

  10. Conclusions/Summary • No established/standardized way to conduct a mixed meal test • Various treatment options, should be individualized, surgery only in severe cases • Post bariatric surgery patients should adhere to recommended lifelong diet • Can lead to severe consequences if not treated
