Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) reveals that postprandial hypoglycemia is significantly more prevalent (up to 75%) than previously thought, with a large proportion of episodes being asymptomatic.
Standard blood tests might miss hypoglycemia after gastric bypass. If you are at risk, ask your doctor about Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) to detect silent low blood sugar episodes that could affect your brain health.
