Abstract
Reactive hypoglycemia is a relatively rare hypoglycemic condition that develops due to the intake of large amounts of easily digestible carbohydrates. RG can be the result of an excessive insulin response associated with either insulin resistance or increased levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 and defects in glucagon regulation, and the most common cause of postprandial hypoglycemia (50-70%) is high insulin sensitivity. Such situations can occur in people who are very thin or who have significantly lost weight. The development of WG may be influenced by the patient’s dietary habits (high carbohydrate, low fat diet, alcohol consumption). In these conditions, insulin secretion becomes inadequate to blood glucose levels, causing hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.This article presents a clinical case of a patient with idiopathic reactive hypoglycemia, which began to be observed in adolescence and was characterized by a decrease in glycemic levels in response to foods high in easily digestible carbohydrates
