Very suspicious of Addison's disease and not insulinoma with normal c-peptide levels or
'gastric dumping'. Assuming no eating disorder or taking medications like Glimperide etc .
Do the following,
1: blood tests: TSH, Cortisol, Short Synacthen test, GH, IgA-TTG,
LFT, KFT, INR
2. Regular and frequent small meals
All the best.
