Case Report: Food-based enteral formula in the nutritional management of children with hyperinsulinism: single center retrospective case series
Our retrospective case series suggests that FBF is well tolerated in children with hyperinsulinism and may mitigate gut motility issues associated with hyperinsulinism, especially in relation to gastro-esophageal reflux and constipation symptoms. Furthermore, FBF may help reduce the dependency on glucose polymers and reduce the likelihood of a hyperglycemic episode. A larger sample size and longer follow-up study are necessary to substantiate the potential beneficial impact of FBF's on glucose control in children with hyperinsulinism.
