Treatment approaches may depend on the particular factors that incite hypoglycemic episodes in the person with RH. Pharmaceuticals such as metformin and acarbose may be recommended.[1][2][3] When RH occurs as a result of gastric bypass surgery, a low-glycemic-index diet along with alpha-glucosidase inhibitors may be considered; if symptoms persist, surgical correction may be warranted.[4][5][6]
Are there any other treatments for reactive hypoglycemia?
