About Hyperinsulinism.

Hyperinsulinism is an endocrine disorder characterized by excessive or inappropriate secretion of insulin by pancreatic beta cells relative to circulating glucose concentrations.

While it can present across any age group due to secondary etiologies like insulinomas or severe insulin resistance, it most critically affects neonates and infants as congenital or perinatal forms.

Pathophysiologically, uninhibited insulin secretion drives systemic glucose uptake while simultaneously suppressing lipolysis and ketogenesis, leading to severe, recurrent hypoketotic hypoglycemia.

This absence of alternative cerebral fuels places affected individuals at high risk for lethargy, seizures, and irreversible neurodevelopmental damage.
