Medical treatment of hypoglycemia depends on the severity of symptoms and the cause. If asymptomatic, repeating the measurement in short time and avoiding critical tasks. Twenty grams of glucose is usually sufficient to raise the blood glucose in a severe hypoglycemic and symptomatic patients. Glucose should be administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly or 25% of dextrose serum should be given intravenously. In case of postprandial hypoglycemia, the patient should have frequent small meals or snacks and foods should be high in fiber, avoiding foods with high sugar content. Surgery is the best treatment for insulinoma.
