Increased Risk of Hypoglycemia Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery in Patients Without Diabetes: a Propensity Score-Matched Analysis

These findings underscore the importance of monitoring and managing hypoglycemia in patients undergoing RYGB surgery, even in the absence of preexisting diabetes.
