Brief Answer:
About hypoglycemia;
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
From your symptoms and lab results ( low glucose levels, high Cpeptide and high insuline) insulinoma should be excluded.
You need a 72 hours fasting test ( in hospital) in order to confirm fasting hypoglycemia ( specific for insulinoma) and if it is confirmed, further radiological exams ( Petscan) are needed.
Hope the information will help.
Best wishes,
Dr.mirjeta
