Hypoglycemia and the Gut Microbiome

Hypoglycemia and the Patterns of Microbiome Composition

The purpose of this study is to find out if patterns of microbiome composition (bacteria in your stool) are related to how glucose levels change after a meal in patients with hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

This study involves

• 2 visits to Joslin Diabetes Center over 2 weeks
• Wearing a continuous glucose monitor and a fitness tracker
• Providing a stool sample
• Keeping a log of blood sugar levels, hypoglycemic events, and treatment of hypoglycemia symptoms

The study will compensate you for the cost of parking or taxi services for each visit.

• Males or females diagnosed with ongoing post-bariatric, post-gastric surgery or other forms of postprandial hypoglycemia with prior episodes of neuroglycopenia
• Age 18-65 years of age, inclusive, at screening.
• Willingness to provide informed consent and follow all study procedures, including attending all scheduled visits.
