Study finds unrecognized low blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes

In this prospective observational study of 136 adults with type 2 diabetes in Spanish primary care, researchers used 14 days of blinded continuous glucose monitoring while participants were using insulin glargine 100 U/mL. Low blood sugar was detected in some participants, especially at night, while high blood sugar was also common; the study shows patterns and associations rather than treatment effects.

Review examines why low blood sugar can happen after stomach surgery for gastric cancer

This narrative review discusses postgastrectomy hypoglycemia (PGH), a low-blood-sugar complication that can occur after stomach surgery for gastric cancer. It summarizes possible mechanisms, including hormone-related effects, and describes how continuous glucose monitoring may reveal symptoms that are not always obvious. The review emphasizes that medication evidence specifically for PGH is limited, so overall conclusions are cautious.
