Abstract
In this editorial, we comment on the article by He et al, specifically in relation to the efficacy of bariatric surgery vs glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) therapy in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) associated with obesity. Bariatric surgery has now also been shown to be safe and effective in pre-teens and teenagers with obesity and T2D, but information on newer GLP-1RAs in these groups is predictably limited. In older individuals (age > 65 years), both bariatric surgery and GLP-1RA therapy improve cardiovascular outcomes. Bariatric surgery is not infrequently associated with post-operative postprandial hypoglycemia, which is not the case with GLP-1RAs and, paradoxically, there is evidence that GLP-1RAs may reduce both the frequency and severity of postprandial hypoglycemia. Comparative trials of the long-term efficacy of bariatric surgery and GLP-1RAs are indicated.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Post-bariatric hypoglycaemia (PBH) is a rare yet disabling clinical condition, mostly reported after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. RYGB is one of the most widely used and effective bariatric procedures. The pathophysiology of PBH remains unclear, and treatment options are limited in effectiveness and/or carry significant side effects. Acarbose slows carbohydrates digestion and absorption and is generally considered first-line pharmacological treatment for PBH but its gastrointestinal side effects limit patient compliance. Canagliflozin inhibits intestinal and renal sodium-dependent glucose absorption and reduces postprandial excursions of glucose, insulin and incretins after RYGB - effects that could be beneficial in ameliorating PBH. AIMS The trial aims to investigate how blood glucose levels are affected during daily living in subjects with PBH during treatment with canagliflozin or acarbose compared with placebo, and to study the meal-induced entero-endocrine mechanisms implied in the treatment responses. METHODS In a double-blinded, randomized, crossover clinical trial, HypoBar I will investigate the effectiveness in reducing the risk of PBH, safety, ambulatory glucose profile and entero-endocrine responses when PBH is treated with canagliflozin 300 mg twice daily during a 4-week intervention period, compared with acarbose 50 mg thrice daily or placebo. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION HypoBar I is approved by the Local regulatory entities. Results will be published in peer-reviewed journals. CONCLUSION If effective, well-tolerated and safe, canagliflozin could be a novel treatment for people with PBH. HypoBar I might also unravel new mechanisms underlying PBH, potentially identifying new treatment targets. TRIAL REGISTRATION EudraCT number 2022-000157-87.

Abstract
Post bariatric hypoglycaemia (PBH) is typically a post-prandial hypoglycaemia occurring about 2-4 hours after eating in people who have undergone bariatric surgery. PBH develops relatively late after surgery and often after discharge from post-surgical follow-up by bariatric teams, leading to variability in diagnosis and management in non-specialist centres. AIM to improve and standardise clinical practice in the diagnosis and management of PBH. OBJECTIVES (1) to undertake an up-to-date review of the current literature; (2) to formulate practical and evidence-based guidance with regards on the diagnosis and treatment of PBH; (3) to recommend future avenues for research in this condition. METHOD A scoping review was undertaken after an extensive literature search. A consensus on the guidance and confidence in the recommendations was reached by the steering group authors prior to review by key stakeholders. OUTCOME We make pragmatic recommendations for the practical diagnosis and management of PBH including criteria for diagnosis and recognition, as well as recommendations for research areas that should be explored.

Abstract
Post-bariatric hypoglycaemia (PBH) is a metabolic complication of bariatric surgery (BS), consisting of low post-prandial glucose levels in patients having undergone bariatric procedures. While BS is currently the most effective and relatively safe treatment for obesity and its complications, the development of PBH can significantly impact patients' quality of life and mental health. The diagnosis of PBH is still challenging, considering the lack of definitive and reliable diagnostic tools, and the fact that this condition is frequently asymptomatic. However, PBH's prevalence is alarming, involving up to 88% of the post-bariatric population, depending on the diagnostic tool, and this may be underestimated. Given the prevalence of obesity soaring, and an increasing number of bariatric procedures being performed, it is crucial that physicians are skilled to diagnose PBH and promptly treat patients suffering from it. While the milestone of managing this condition is nutritional therapy, growing evidence suggests that old and new pharmacological approaches may be adopted as adjunct therapies for managing this complex condition.

Dasiglucagon Treatment for Postprandial Hypoglycemia After Gastric Bypass: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial. Diabetes Care 2023; 46:2208-2217.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Postbariatric hypoglycemia affects >50% of individuals who have undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Despite the often debilitating nature of this complication, existing treatment options are limited and often inefficient. Dasiglucagon is a stable glucagon analog available in a ready-to-use formulation and was recently shown to mitigate postbariatric hypoglycemia in experimental settings. Here, we aimed to evaluate the hypoglycemic hindering potential of dasiglucagon in an outpatient trial. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, proof-of-concept study at the Center for Clinical Metabolic Research at Gentofte Hospital in Denmark. The study included 24 individuals who had undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (n = 23 women) with continuous glucose monitor-verified postbariatric hypoglycemia (≥15 min at <3.9 mmol/L three or more times per week) randomly assigned to two treatment periods of 4 weeks of self-administered subcutaneous dasiglucagon at 120 μg or placebo. The primary and key secondary outcomes were continuous glucose monitor-captured percentage of time in level 1 and 2 hypoglycemia (<3.9 and <3.0 mmol/L), respectively. RESULTS Compared with placebo, treatment with dasiglucagon significantly reduced time in level 1 hypoglycemia by 33% (-1.2 percentage points; 95% CI -2.0 to -0.5; P = 0.002) and time in level 2 hypoglycemia by 54% (-0.4 percentage points; 95% CI -0.6 to -0.2; P < 0.0001). Furthermore, dasiglucagon corrected hypoglycemia within 15 min in 401 of 412 self-administrations, compared with 104 of 357 placebo self-administrations (97.3% vs. 29.1% correction of hypoglycemia rate; P < 0.001). Dasiglucagon was generally well tolerated, with mostly mild to moderate adverse events of nausea. CONCLUSIONS Compared with placebo, 4 weeks of self-administered dasiglucagon effectively reduced clinically relevant hypoglycemia in individuals who had undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.

Abstract
Obesity is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Bariatric surgery is the most effective means of inducing weight loss, and can ameliorate or induce the remission of obesity-related metabolic comorbidities, including T2DM. The guidelines for the management of T2DM emphasize weight management and recommend metabolic surgery for the treatment of T2DM accompanied by obesity. However, despite the clear beneficial effects of metabolic surgery, only 20-50% of patients who experience remission will stay in remission over the long term. Moreover, the beneficial effects of metabolic surgery tend to diminish with time, and a subset of patients experience a relapse of their diabetes. Therefore, in the present review, we discuss potential strategies for the maintenance of diabetic remission following metabolic surgery.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-based medication is now widely employed in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Like other gut hormones, GLP-1 is released from eneteroendocrine cells after a meal and in this review, based on the Dorothy Hodgkin lecture delivered during the annual meeting of Diabetes UK in 2023, I argue that there is sufficient spare capacity of GLP-1 and other gut hormone expressing cells that could be recruited therapeutically. Years of research has revealed several receptors expressed in enteroendocrine cells that could be targeted to stimulate hormone release: although from this research it seems unlikely to find agents that selectively boost GLP-1, release of a mixture of hormones might be the more desirable outcome anyway, given the recent promising results of new peptides combining GLP1-receptor with other gut hormone receptor activation. Alternatively, the fact that GLP-1 and peptideYY (PYY) expressing cells are found in greater density in the ileum might be exploited by increasing the delivery of chyme to the distal small intestine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment in individuals with obesity to achieve remission of type 2 diabetes. Post-bariatric surgery hypoglycaemia occurs frequently, and management remains suboptimal, because of a poor understanding of the underlying pathophysiology. The glucoregulatory hormone responses to nutrients in individuals with and without post-bariatric surgery hypoglycaemia have not been systematically examined. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study protocol was prospectively registered with PROSPERO. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and the Cochrane databases were searched for publications between January 1990 and November 2021 using MeSH terms related to post-bariatric surgery hypoglycaemia. Studies were included if they evaluated individuals with post-bariatric surgery hypoglycaemia and included measurements of plasma glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), insulin, C-peptide and/or glucagon concentrations following an ingested nutrient load. Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) was also evaluated. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed, and Hedges' g (standardised mean difference) and 95% confidence intervals were reported for all outcomes where sufficient studies were available. The τ2 estimate and I2 statistic were used as tests for heterogeneity and a funnel plot with the Egger regression-based test was used to evaluate for publication bias. RESULTS From 377 identified publications, 12 were included in the analysis. In all 12 studies, the type of bariatric surgery was Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Comparing individuals with and without post-bariatric surgery hypoglycaemia following an ingested nutrient load, the standardised mean difference in peak GLP-1 was 0.57 (95% CI, 0.32, 0.82), peak GIP 0.05 (-0.26, 0.36), peak insulin 0.84 (0.44, 1.23), peak C-peptide 0.69 (0.28, 1.1) and peak glucagon 0.05 (-0.26, 0.36). HbA1c was less in individuals with hypoglycaemia - 0.40 (-0.67, -0.12). There was no evidence of substantial heterogeneity in any outcome except for peak insulin: τ2 = 0.2, I2 = 54.3. No publication bias was evident. CONCLUSION Following RYGB, postprandial peak plasma GLP-1, insulin and C-peptide concentrations are greater in individuals with post-bariatric surgery hypoglycaemia, while HbA1c is less. These observations support the concept that antagonism of GLP-1 would prove beneficial in the management of individuals with hypoglycaemia following RYGB.PROSPERO Registration Number: CRD42021287515.

Smits MM, Holst JJ. Endogenous glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 as alternative for GLP-1 receptor agonists: Could this work and how? Diabetes Metab Res Rev 2023; 39:e3699.

Abstract
In recent years, we have witnessed the many beneficial effects of glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonists, including the reduction in cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes, and the reduction of body weight in those with obesity. Increasing evidence suggests that these agents differ considerably from endogenous GLP-1 when it comes to their routes of action, although their clinical effects appear to be the same. Given the limitations of the GLP-1 receptor agonists, could it be useful to develop agents which stimulate GLP-1 release? Here we will discuss the differences and similarities between GLP-1 receptor agonists and endogenous GLP-1, and will detail how endogenous GLP-1-when stimulated appropriately-could have clinically relevant effects.

Abstract
Postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, although rare, is a well-documented complication that can manifest after upper gastrointestinal surgery. Despite its potential for severe morbidity, the underlying pathogenesis and optimal treatment strategies for this condition remain insufficiently understood. This report presents a compelling case of postprandial hypoglycemia following Billroth-II gastrojejunostomy, characterized by a marked increase in postprandial insulin levels, accompanied by the exaggerated response of incretin hormones. The incretin effect in this patient was found to be exceptionally high, measuring at approximately 90%. While nutritional interventions proved ineffective in alleviating the patient's symptoms, the administration of octreotide significantly attenuated the exaggerated postprandial insulin and incretin response, substantially ameliorating both the symptoms and postprandial hypoglycemia. Monthly subcutaneous injections of long-acting repeatable octreotide were initiated, resulting in the complete resolution of symptomatic postprandial hypoglycemia. Although the patient developed acalculous cholecystitis and gallstone cholangitis 2 years after commencing octreotide therapy, she has remained free from symptomatic postprandial hypoglycemia for more than 4 years. Our case underscores the efficacy of somatostatin analogs in the management of postprandial hyperinsulinemia after gastrointestinal surgery, shedding light on the potential involvement of incretin hormones in the pathophysiology of this condition.

Abstract
Congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) is a genetic disorder in which pancreatic β-cell insulin secretion is excessive and results in hypoglycemia that, without treatment, can cause brain damage or death. Most patients with loss-of-function mutations in ABCC8 and KCNJ11, the genes encoding the β-cell ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP), are unresponsive to diazoxide, the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved medical therapy and require pancreatectomy. The glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) antagonist exendin-(9-39) is an effective therapeutic agent that inhibits insulin secretion in both HI and acquired hyperinsulinism. Previously, we identified a highly potent antagonist antibody, TB-001-003, which was derived from our synthetic antibody libraries that were designed to target G protein-coupled receptors. Here, we designed a combinatorial variant antibody library to optimize the activity of TB-001-003 against GLP-1R and performed phage display on cells overexpressing GLP-1R. One antagonist, TB-222-023, is more potent than exendin-(9-39), also known as avexitide. TB-222-023 effectively decreased insulin secretion in primary isolated pancreatic islets from a mouse model of hyperinsulinism, Sur1-/- mice, and in islets from an infant with HI, and increased plasma glucose levels and decreased the insulin to glucose ratio in Sur1-/- mice. These findings demonstrate that targeting GLP-1R with an antibody antagonist is an effective and innovative strategy for treatment of hyperinsulinism. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS Patients with the most common and severe form of diazoxide-unresponsive congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) require a pancreatectomy. Other second-line therapies are limited in their use because of severe side effects and short half-lives. Therefore, there is a critical need for better therapies. Studies with the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) antagonist, avexitide (exendin-(9-39)), have demonstrated that GLP-1R antagonism is effective at lowering insulin secretion and increasing plasma glucose levels. We have optimized a GLP-1R antagonist antibody with more potent blocking of GLP-1R than avexitide. This antibody therapy is a potential novel and effective treatment for HI.

Abstract
With a rise in obesity and more patients opting for bariatric surgery, it becomes crucial to understand associated complications like postprandial hypoglycemia (PPH). After bariatric surgery, significant changes are seen in insulin sensitivity, beta cell function, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) levels, the gut microbiome, and bile acid metabolism. And in a small subset of patients, exaggerated imbalances in these functional and metabolic processes lead to insulin-glucose mismatch and hypoglycemia. The main treatment for PPH involves dietary modifications. For those that do not respond, medications or surgical interventions are considered to reverse some of the imbalances. We present a few case reports of patients that safely tolerated GLP-1 agonists. However, larger randomized control trials are needed to further characterize PPH and understand its treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION While bariatric surgery remains the most effective treatment for obesity that allows substantial weight loss with improvement and possibly remission of obesity-associated comorbidities, some postoperative complications may occur. Managing physicians need to be familiar with the common problems to ensure timely and effective management. Of these complications, postoperative hypoglycemia is an increasingly recognized complication of bariatric surgery that remains underreported and underdiagnosed. AREA COVERED This article highlights the importance of identifying hypoglycemia in patients with a history of bariatric surgery, reviews pathophysiology and addresses available nutritional, pharmacological and surgical management options. Systemic evaluation including careful history taking, confirmation of hypoglycemia and biochemical assessment is essential to establish accurate diagnosis. Understanding the weight-dependent and weight-independent mechanisms of improved postoperative glycemic control can provide better insight into the causes of the exaggerated responses that lead to postoperative hypoglycemia. EXPERT OPINION Management of post-operative hypoglycemia can be challenging and requires a multidisciplinary approach. While dietary modification is the mainstay of treatment for most patients, some patients may benefit from pharmacotherapy (e.g. GLP-1 receptor antagonist); Surgery (e.g. reversal of gastric bypass) is reserved for unresponsive severe cases. Additional research is needed to understand the underlying pathophysiology with a primary aim in optimizing diagnostics and treatment options.

Abstract
The objective of this scoping review was to summarize the emerging literature on the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in post-bariatric surgery patients, with a focus on its features (e.g., device, mode, and accuracy), as well as purposes and outcomes of utilization. Three databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science) were searched to obtain relevant studies. Results suggested that most studies used CGM for 3-7 days under blinded mode. Accuracy data were available in only one study, which reported a mean absolute relative difference of 21.7% for Freestyle Libre. The primary applications of CGM were for elucidating glucose patterns and assessing glycemic treatment outcomes. No study has tested the effect of CGM as an intervention strategy to enhance glucose control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic gastrointestinal disease such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), celiac disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), pancreatitis, and chronic liver disease (CLD) often suffer from obesity because of coincidence (IBD, IBS, celiac disease) or related pathophysiology (GERD, pancreatitis and CLD). It is unclear if such patients need a particular diagnostic and treatment that differs from the needs of lean gastrointestinal patients. The present guideline addresses this question according to current knowledge and evidence. OBJECTIVE The present practical guideline is intended for clinicians and practitioners in general medicine, gastroenterology, surgery and other obesity management, including dietitians and focuses on obesity care in patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases. METHODS The present practical guideline is the shortened version of a previously published scientific guideline developed according to the standard operating procedure for ESPEN guidelines. The content has been re-structured and transformed into flow-charts that allow a quick navigation through the text. RESULTS In 100 recommendations (3× A, 33× B, 24 × 0, 40× GPP, all with a consensus grade of 90% or more) care of gastrointestinal patients with obesity - including sarcopenic obesity - is addressed in a multidisciplinary way. A particular emphasis is on CLD, especially metabolic associated liver disease, since such diseases are closely related to obesity, whereas liver cirrhosis is rather associated with sarcopenic obesity. A special chapter is dedicated to obesity care in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The guideline focuses on adults, not on children, for whom data are scarce. Whether some of the recommendations apply to children must be left to the judgment of the experienced pediatrician. CONCLUSION The present practical guideline offers in a condensed way evidence-based advice how to care for patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases and concomitant obesity, an increasingly frequent constellation in clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the clinical presentation, causes, and diagnostic approach to spontaneous hypoglycemia in adults without diabetes mellitus. METHODS A literature review was performed using the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. RESULTS Hypoglycemia is uncommon in people who are not on glucose-lowering medications. Under normal physiologic conditions, multiple neural and hormonal counterregulatory mechanisms prevent the development of abnormally low levels of plasma glucose. If spontaneous hypoglycemia is suspected, the Whipple triad should be used to confirm hypoglycemia before pursuing further diagnostic workup. The Whipple criteria include the following: (1) low levels of plasma glucose, (2) signs or symptoms that would be expected with low levels of plasma glucose, and (3) improvement in those signs or symptoms when the level of plasma glucose increases. Spontaneous hypoglycemia can be caused by conditions that cause endogenous hyperinsulinism, including insulinoma, postbariatric hypoglycemia, and noninsulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemia. Spontaneous hypoglycemia can also be seen with critical illness, hepatic or renal dysfunction, hormonal deficiency, non-diabetes-related medications, and non-islet cell tumors. The initial diagnostic approach should begin by obtaining a detailed history of the nature and timing of the patient's symptoms, medications, underlying comorbid conditions, and any acute illness. A laboratory evaluation should be conducted at the time of the spontaneous symptomatic episode. Supervised tests such as a 72-hour fast or mixed-meal test may be needed to recreate the situation under which the patient is likely to experience symptoms. CONCLUSION We provide an overview of the physiology of counterregulatory response to hypoglycemia, its causes, and diagnostic approaches to spontaneous hypoglycemia in adults.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate medical and surgical treatment of postbariatric hypoglycaemia (PBH) in daily practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective data were extracted from medical records from four hospitals. PBH was defined by neuroglycopenic symptoms together with a documented glucose <3.0 mmol/L in the postprandial setting after previous bariatric surgery. Data were scored semiquantitatively on efficacy and side effects by two reviewers independently. Duration of efficacy and of use were calculated. RESULTS In total, 120 patients were included with a median follow-up of 27 months with a mean baseline age of 41 years, total weight loss of 33% and glucose nadir 2.3 mmol/L. Pharmacotherapy consisted of acarbose, diazoxide, short- and long-acting octreotide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist analogues (liraglutide and semaglutide) with an overall efficacy in 45%-75% of patients. Combination therapy with two drugs was used by 30 (25%) patients. The addition of a second drug was successful in over half of the patients. Long-acting octreotide and the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist analogues scored best in terms of efficacy and side effects with a median duration of use of 35 months for octreotide. Finally, 23 (19%) patients were referred for surgical intervention. Efficacy of the surgical procedures, pouch banding, G-tube placement in remnant stomach and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass reversal, pooled together, was 79% with a median duration of initial effect of 13 months. CONCLUSIONS In daily practice, pharmacotherapy for PBH was successful in half to three quarters of patients. Combination therapy was often of value. One in five patients finally needed a surgical procedure, with overall good results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia with neuroglycopenia is an increasingly recognized complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and gastric sleeve surgery that may detrimentally affect patient quality of life. One likely causal factor is glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which has an exaggerated rise following ingestion of carbohydrates after bariatric surgery. This paper sought to assess the role of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in managing postprandial hypoglycemia following bariatric surgery. METHODS MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), ClinicalTrials.gov, and Scopus were systematically and critically appraised for all peer-reviewed publications that suitably fulfilled the inclusion criteria established a priori. This systematic review was developed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P). It followed methods outlined in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and is registered with PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews; identifier CRD420212716429). RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia remains a notoriously difficult to manage metabolic complication of bariatric surgery. This first, to the authors' knowledge, systematic review presents evidence suggesting that use of GLP-1RAs does not lead to an increase of hypoglycemic episodes, and, although this approach may appear counterintuitive, the findings suggest that GLP-1RAs could reduce the number of postprandial hypoglycemic episodes and improve glycemic variability.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This manuscript provides a review of post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) with a special focus on the role of the registered dietitian-nutritionist (RDN) and medical nutrition therapy (MNT) recommendations as foundational for management. RECENT FINDINGS As the number of bariatric surgeries rises yearly, with 256,000 performed in 2019, PBH is an increasingly encountered late complication. Following Roux-en-Y (RYGB) or vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), about 1/3 of patients report symptoms suggestive of at least mild postprandial hypoglycemia, with severe and/or medically confirmed hypoglycemia in 1-10%. Anatomical alterations, changes in GLP1 and other intestinally derived hormones, excessive insulin response, reduced insulin clearance, impaired counterregulatory hormone response to hypoglycemia, and other factors contribute to PBH. MNT is the cornerstone of multidisciplinary treatment, with utilization of personal continuous glucose monitoring to improve safety when possible. While many individuals require pharmacotherapy, there are no currently approved medications for PBH. Increasing awareness and identification of individuals at risk for or with PBH is critical given the potential impact on safety, nutrition, and quality of life. A team-based approach involving the individual, the RDN, and other clinicians is essential in providing ongoing assessment and individualization of MNT in the long-term management of PBH.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is a highly effective obesity treatment resulting in substantial weight loss and improved glucose metabolism. We hereby aimed to summarize available evidence of the effect of the 2 most common bariatric surgery procedures, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG), on dynamic measures of β-cell function (BCF). A systematic search of the literature was conducted in 3 bibliographic databases for studies reporting effects of RYGB and/or SG on BCF assessed using dynamic metabolic perturbation (oral or intravenous bolus stimulation), performed before and 1 year (±3 months) after surgery. Twenty-seven unique studies (6 randomized controlled trials and 21 observational studies), involving a total of 1856 obese adults, were included for final analysis. Twenty-five and 9 studies report effects of RYGB and SG on BCF, respectively (7 studies compared the 2 procedures). Seven studies report results according to presurgical diabetes status. Owing to variable testing procedures and BCF indices reported, no meta-analysis was feasible, and data were summarized qualitatively. For both surgical procedures, most studies suggest an increase in BCF and disposition index, particularly when using oral stimulation, with a more pronounced increase in diabetic than nondiabetic individuals. Additionally, limited indications for greater effects after RYGB versus SG were found. The quality of the included studies was, in general, satisfactory. The considerable heterogeneity of test protocols and outcome measures underscore the need for a harmonization of BCF testing in future research.

Abstract
Postprandial hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia is a common complication of bariatric surgery. Although in general its evolution is mild and self-limited, it can lead to neuroglycopaenia and compromise the patient's safety and quality of life. The aim of this document is to offer some recommendations to facilitate the clinical care of these complex patients, reviewing the aetiopathogenesis, its diagnosis and treatment that, sequentially, will include dietary and pharmacological measures and surgery in refractory cases. In the absence of high-quality studies, the diagnostic and therapeutic approach proposed is based on the consensus of experts of the Grupo de Obesidad de la Sociedad Española de Endocrinología y Nutrición [Obesity Group of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition], GOSEEN. Those undergoing bariatric surgery should be informed of the possibility of developing this complication.

Abstract
CONTEXT Exaggerated postprandial incretin and insulin responses are well documented in postbariatric surgery hypoglycemia (PBH) after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). However, less is known about PBH after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). OBJECTIVE We sought to compare meal-stimulated hormonal response in those with PBH after SG vs RYGB. METHODS We enrolled 23 post-SG (12 with and 11 without PBH) and 20 post-RYGB (7 with and 13 without PBH) individuals who underwent bariatric surgery at our institution. PBH was defined as plasma glucose less than 60 mg/dL on 4-hour mixed-meal tolerance test (MTT). Islet and incretin hormones were compared across the 4 groups. RESULTS Participants (N = 43) were on average 5 years post surgery, with a mean age of 48 years, mean preoperative body mass index of 48.4, 81% female, 61% White, and 53% post SG. Regardless of PBH, the SG group showed lower glucose, glucagon, and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) responses to MTT and similar insulin and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) responses compared to the RYGB group. Among those with PBH, the SG group following the MTT showed a lower peak glucose (P = .02), a similar peak insulin (90.3 mU/L vs 171mU/L; P = .18), lower glucagon (P < .01), early GLP-1 response (AUC0-60 min; P = .01), and slower time to peak GIP (P = .02) compared to PBH after RYGB. CONCLUSION Among individuals with PBH, those who underwent SG were significantly different compared to RYGB in meal-stimulated hormonal responses, including lower glucagon and GLP-1 responses, but similar insulin and GIP responses. Future studies are needed to better understand the differential contribution of insulin and non-insulin-mediated mechanisms behind PBH after SG vs RYGB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic gastrointestinal (GI) disease such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), celiac disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), pancreatitis, and chronic liver disease (CLD) often suffer from obesity because of coincidence (IBD, IBS, celiac disease) or related pathophysiology (GERD, pancreatitis and CLD). It is unclear if such patients need a particular diagnostic and treatment that differs from the needs of lean GI patients. The present guideline addresses this question according to current knowledge and evidence. OBJECTIVE The objective of the guideline is to give advice to all professionals working in the field of gastroenterology care including physicians, surgeons, dietitians and others how to handle patients with GI disease and obesity. METHODS The present guideline was developed according to the standard operating procedure for European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism guidelines, following the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network grading system (A, B, 0, and good practice point [GPP]). The procedure included an online voting (Delphi) and a final consensus conference. RESULTS In 100 recommendations (3x A, 33x B, 24x 0, 40x GPP, all with a consensus grade of 90% or more) care of GI patients with obesity - including sarcopenic obesity - is addressed in a multidisciplinary way. A particular emphasis is on CLD, especially fatty liver disease, since such diseases are closely related to obesity, whereas liver cirrhosis is rather associated with sarcopenic obesity. A special chapter is dedicated to obesity care in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The guideline focuses on adults, not on children, for whom data are scarce. Whether some of the recommendations apply to children must be left to the judgment of the experienced pediatrician. CONCLUSION The present guideline offers for the first time evidence-based advice how to care for patients with chronic GI diseases and concomitant obesity, an increasingly frequent constellation in clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of dasiglucagon, a novel stable glucagon analog in a liquid formulation, in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)-operated individuals suffering from postbariatric hypoglycemia (PBH). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial, 10 RYGB-operated participants with continuous glucose monitoring-verified PBH were randomly assigned to 3 trial days, each consisting of a 240-min standardized liquid mixed-meal test with the subcutaneous injection of placebo or 80 μg or 200 μg dasiglucagon. RESULTS Compared with placebo, treatment with both 80 and 200 μg dasiglucagon raised nadir plasma glucose (PG) (placebo: 3.0 ± 0.2 mmol/L [mean ± SEM]; 80 μg dasiglucagon: 3.9 ± 0.3 mmol/L, P = 0.002; 200 μg dasiglucagon: 4.5 ± 0.2 mmol/L, P = 0.0002) and reduced time in hypoglycemia (PG <3.9 mmol/L) by 70.0 min (P = 0.030 and P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS Single-dose administration of dasiglucagon effectively mitigated postprandial hypoglycemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess whether exendin-(9-39) will increase fasting and postprandial plasma glucose and decrease the incidence of hypoglycemia in children with hyperinsulinism (HI). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was an open-label, four-period crossover study. In periods 1 and 2, the effect of three different dosing regimens of exendin-(9-39) (group 1, 0.28 mg/kg; group 2, 0.44 mg/kg; group 3, 0.6 mg/kg) versus vehicle on fasting glucose was assessed in 16 children with HI. In periods 3 and 4, a subset of eight subjects received either vehicle or exendin-(9-39) (0.6 mg/kg) during a mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) and an oral protein tolerance test (OPTT). RESULTS Treatment group 2 showed 20% (P = 0.037) increase in the area under the curve (AUC) of fasting glucose. A significant increase in AUC of glucose was also observed during the MMTT and OPTT; treatment with exendin-(9-39) resulted in 28% (P ≤ 0.001) and 30% (P = 0.01) increase in AUC of glucose, respectively. Fasting AUC of insulin decreased by 57% (P = 0.009) in group 3. In contrast, AUC of insulin was unchanged during the MMTT and almost twofold higher (P = 0.004) during the OPTT with exendin-(9-39) treatment. In comparison with vehicle, infusion of exendin-(9-39) resulted in significant reduction in likelihood of hypoglycemia in group 2, by 76% (P = 0.009), and in group 3, by 84% (P = 0.014). Administration of exendin-(9-39) during the OPTT resulted in 82% (P = 0.007) reduction in the likelihood of hypoglycemia. CONCLUSIONS These results support a therapeutic potential of exendin-(9-39) to prevent fasting and protein-induced hypoglycemia in children with HI.

[PMID: 35137513 PMCID: PMC9035096 DOI: 10.1111/dom.14665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2021] [Revised: 01/27/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to examine the hypothesis that pramlintide would reduce hypoglycaemia by slowing gastric emptying and reducing postprandial glucagon secretion, thus limiting postprandial glycaemic excursions and insulin secretion, and thus to determine the efficacy of pramlintide on frequency and severity of hypoglycaemia in post-bariatric hypoglycaemia (PBH). MATERIALS AND METHODS Participants with PBH following gastric bypass were recruited from outpatient clinics at the Joslin Diabetes Center, Boston, Massachusetts for an open-label study of pramlintide efficacy over 8 weeks. Twenty-three participants were assessed for eligibility, 20 participants had at least one pramlintide dose, and 14 completed the study. A mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) was performed at baseline and after 8 weeks of subcutaneous pramlintide with a sequential dose increase to a maximum of 120 micrograms (mean 69 ± 32 mcg) three times daily. The primary endpoint was change in glucose excursions during the MMTT. Secondary measures included MMTT insulin response, satiety and dumping score, percentage time with sensor glucose (SG) <3.9 mM, and number of days with minimum SG <3 mM, during masked continuous glucose monitoring. RESULTS There were no differences in MMTT glucose, glucagon or insulin between baseline and post treatment. We observed no significant change in satiety or dumping scores. The overall frequency of low SG values did not change, although there was substantial inter-individual variability. CONCLUSIONS In PBH, pramlintide does not modulate glycaemic or insulin responses, satiety, or dumping scores during an MMTT and does not impact glycaemic excursions or decrease low SG levels in the outpatient setting.

Abstract
Mothers that underwent bariatric surgery are at higher risk for delivering a small-for-gestational age (SGA) infant. This phenomenon is attributed to malabsorption and rapid weight loss following surgery. We compared pregnancy outcomes in lean mice that underwent sham surgery or sleeve gastrectomy (SG). SG led to a reduction in glucose levels and an increase in postprandial levels of glucagon-like peptide 1 (Glp1) without affecting mice weight during pregnancy. Pups of SG-operated mice (SG pups) were born SGA. The placenta and pancreas of the pups were not affected by SG, although a high-fat diet caused hepatic steatosis and glucose intolerance in male SG pups. Treatment with a Glp1 receptor antagonist during pregnancy normalized the birth weight of SG pups and diminished the adverse response to a high-fat diet without affecting glucose levels of pregnant mice. The antagonist did not affect the birth weight of pups of sham-operated mice. Our findings link elevated Glp1 signaling, rather than weight loss, to the increased prevalence of SGA births following bariatric surgery with metabolic consequences for the offspring. The long-term effects of bariatric surgery on the metabolic health of offspring of patients require further investigation.

Abstract
Postbariatric hypoglycemia is a rare but increasingly recognized complication of bariatric surgery, with significant associated morbidity, and many patients often require multimodal treatment. A mixed meal challenge test is often helpful to diagnose this condition. This manuscript highlights the underlying mechanisms that lead to this condition and the novel emerging therapeutic targets that target these mechanisms.

Abstract
Incretin hormones play an important role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis through their actions on the beta cells and other tissues. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) are the two main incretins and are secreted by enteroendocrine L- and K-cells, respectively. New evidence suggests that incretin hormones, particularly GLP-1, play a role in the pathophysiology of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. In individuals with acquired hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia after gastrointestinal surgery, including Nissen fundoplication and gastric bypass surgery, the incretin response to a meal is markedly increased and antagonism of the GLP-1 receptor prevents the hyperinsulinemic response. In individuals with congenital hyperinsulinism due to inactivating mutations in the genes encoding the beta cell KATP channels, the GLP-1 receptor antagonist, exendin-(9-39), increases fasting plasma glucose and prevents protein-induced hypoglycemia. Studies in human and mouse islets lacking functional KATP channels have demonstrated that the effect on plasma glucose is at least in part mediated by inhibition of insulin secretion resulting from lower cytoplasmic cAMP levels. The understanding of the role of incretin hormones in the pathophysiology of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia is important for the exploration of the GLP-1 receptor as a therapeutic target for these conditions. In this article, we will review incretin physiology and evidence supporting a role of the incretin hormones in the pathophysiology of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, as well as results from proof-of concept studies exploring a therapeutic approach targeting the GLP-1 receptor to treat hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.
