Appointments
Specialized Care and Treatment
The Hypoglycemia Clinic at Joslin provides patients with an evaluation and personalized management of complex hypoglycemia syndromes in adults. After a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of our patients documented hypoglycemia for both diagnostic and treatment needs.Together, our staff will help you prevent this condition by identifying its underlying cause and then recommending treatment. Sometimes patients need new medications or to adjust their current dosage. Other times, they need surgical treatment.
Hypoglycemia is a condition that involves very low blood sugar levels. The team at Joslin recognizes that hypoglycemia can difficult to live with, disabling, and even life threatening. There are many causes of hypoglycemia, even in patients without diabetes including medications and supplements or medical and hormonal conditions. Hypoglycemia can also follow a gastrointestinal surgery, a post-bariatric hypoglycemia occurring after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. Other forms of hypoglycemia include reactive hypoglycemia or postprandial hypoglycemia.
