Exendin-(9-39) Effects on Glucose and Insulin in Children With Congenital Hyperinsulinism During Fasting and During a Meal and a Protein Challenge

Darko Stefanovski et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of exendin-(9-39) on fasting and postprandial plasma glucose and the incidence of hypoglycemia in children with hyperinsulinism. The results showed that exendin-(9-39) significantly increased fasting and postprandial glucose and reduced the likelihood of hypoglycemia.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring in the Management of Neonates With Persistent Hypoglycemia and Congenital Hyperinsulinism

Myat Win et al.

Summary: This retrospective study introduces the use of real-time CGM in monitoring persistent neonatal hypoglycemia. The study found significant fluctuations in glucose levels in babies with congenital hyperinsulinism, highlighting the challenges of preventing hypoglycemia. The results also suggest the potential application of CGM as an adjunct to clinical care in managing neonatal hypoglycemia.

The Role of GLP-1 Signaling in Hypoglycemia due to Hyperinsulinism

Melinda Danowitz et al.

Summary: Incretin hormones, especially GLP-1, play an important role in the pathophysiology of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Understanding the mechanisms of incretin hormones is crucial for exploring GLP-1 receptor as a therapeutic target for these conditions.

Hypoglycaemia Metabolic Gene Panel Testing

Arianna Maiorana et al.

Summary: A large number of inborn errors of metabolism, involving various biochemical pathways, can cause hypoglycemia. New generation sequencing technology has enabled extensive molecular testing, leading to rapid diagnosis and specific therapies. Understanding the biochemical and clinical phenotypes is crucial for guiding molecular analysis and interpreting genetic results. Multidisciplinary collaboration is essential for translating research findings into clinical practice.

Families' Experiences of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in the Management of Congenital Hyperinsulinism: A Thematic Analysis

Sameera Hannah Auckburally et al.

Summary: In this qualitative study, families' experiences of using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in patients with congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) were explored. The study found that CGM served as an educational tool and motivated behavioral changes, leading to positive experiences and improved management of hypoglycemia. However, there were also negative experiences reported, such as alarms and reliability issues at low glucose levels. Families expected CHI-specific modifications and personalized application of CGM. Incorporating end users' opinions and experiences is crucial for optimizing the use of CGM in glycaemic monitoring of CHI.

Ketogenic diet as elective treatment in patients with drug-unresponsive hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia caused by glucokinase mutations

Arianna Maiorana et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the safety and efficacy of ketogenic diet in the treatment of drug-unresponsive GCK-HI patients in both short-term and long-term. The neuroprotective effects of KD led to improvement in epilepsy and intellectual disabilities, avoiding the need for near-total pancreatectomy. Patients and their families reported improved physical and psychosocial well-being, with a significant enhancement in their quality of life, suggesting a potentially transformative impact on human lives. Therefore, KD could be considered the preferred treatment in unresponsive forms of GCK-HI.

Real-time continuous glucose monitoring in preterm infants (REACT): an international, open-label, randomised controlled trial

Kathryn Beardsall et al.

Summary: The study found that using real-time continuous glucose monitoring can reduce the risk of prolonged or severe hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia in preterm infants. Further research is needed to determine optimal glucose targets, strategies to achieve them, and the potential impact on long-term health outcomes.

The Bihormonal Bionic Pancreas Improves Glycemic Control in Individuals With Hyperinsulinism and Postpancreatectomy Diabetes: A Pilot Study

Arpana Rayannavar et al.

Summary: The study aimed to determine if the bihormonal bionic pancreas (BHBP) improves glycemic control and reduces hypoglycemia in individuals with congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) and postpancreatectomy diabetes (PPD) compared with usual care (UC). The results showed that relative to UC, the BHBP resulted in comparable glycemic control in the study population.

Case Report: Two Distinct Focal Congenital Hyperinsulinism Lesions Resulting From Separate Genetic Events

Elizabeth Rosenfeld et al.

Summary: Focal hyperinsulinism, which accounts for nearly 50% of surgically treated cases, can be cured through complete resection of the focal lesion. Cases of multifocal hyperinsulinism with multiple independent pancreatic focal lesions are rare, and genetic testing revealed individual focal lesions arising from independent somatic events in the setting of a paternally inherited germline ABCC8 mutation. A personalized and multidisciplinary approach is crucial for the management of infants with HI.
