Exercise-induced hyperinsulinism
ORPHA:165991· ICD-10 E16.1
Definition
A rare form of congenital diazoxide-sensitive diffuse hyperinsulinism characterized by episodes of hypoglycemia induced by exercise due to an inappropriate lactate and pyruvate sensitivity in pancreatic beta-cells. Presentation is of recurring episodes of hypoglycemia associated with elevated insulin levels, within 30 minutes of a short period of anaerobic exercise. The degree of hypoglycemia associated with exercise is variable and is only partially responsive to diazoxide.
