Abstract

Endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in non-diabetic people is a cause to take into account in nondiabetic patients with hypoglycemia. Its interest lies in its low incidence and the importance of recognizing its
diagnosis and treatment. We present the case of a 40-year-old woman with frequent episodes of hypoglycemia
whose definitive diagnosis was non-insulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemia using the oral glucose overload test, which showed abnormally high insulin and C-peptide values in relation to capillary blood glucose. In
our case, the resolution of the symptoms took place with medical treatment (lanreotide).
