Most common cause of persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in neonates Synonym(s): noninsulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemia (NIPHS); persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI); congenital hyperinsulinism; islet cell hyperplasia Epidemiology [unboundmedicine.com]

The article reviews the pathophysiology and treatment modalities for nesidioblastosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although it is well-described in infants, the pathophysiology in adults is poorly understood. Aim(s): From our review of the literature, we believe that this is the second reported case of localized nesidioblastosis in an adult. [enets.org]

In such a patient, diazoxide or, when it is of no avail, surgical intervention should promptly be instituted to prevent possible neurologic sequelae induced by hypoglycemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Further therapy and prevention depends upon the specific cause. Most hypoglycemia due to excessive insulin occurs in people who take insulin for type 1 diabetes. [en.wikipedia.org]
