Medical Nutrition Therapy for Management of Post-Bariatric Hypoglycemia: A Team-Based Approach

As the number of bariatric surgeries performed increases yearly, Post-Bariatric Hypoglycemia (PBH) is an increasingly encountered late complication. Increasing awareness and identification of individuals at risk for or with PBH is critical given the potential impact on an individual’s safety, nutrition, and quality of life. This mini-review provides a background of PBH, with a special focus on the role of the RDN and recommendations for medical nutrition therapy as the foundation for management of PBH. A team-based approach involving the individual, the RD, and other clinicians is critical in providing on-going assessment and individualization of MNT in the long-term management of PBH.
