Supporting children to switch from liquid medicine to tablets could save thousands of pounds for the NHS and improve the patient’s quality of life, according to the results of a project conducted by Great Ormond Street Hospital

In #CongenitalHyperinsulinism, the body doesn’t produce ketones when blood glucose is low (Hypoglycemia). The circulating blood glucose level is therefore relied upon to keep the brain safe, so maintaining blood glucose levels above 3.5 mmol/L is crucial

In babies, hypoglycaemia can be hard to detect. Look for signs like breathing difficulties, seizures, or unresponsiveness—they could signal low blood sugar. Early Detection & Prompt Intervention is essential to avoid neurological harm #CongenitalHyperinsulinism #HyperinsulinismUK
Another huge team effort! We’ve detected disease-causing low-level mosaic variants in the blood of people with #congenitalhyperinsulinism, meaning that more patients who haven’t had surgery can now get a genetic diagnosis without pancreatic tissue testing.
Today, Santa’s #Hyperinsulinism journey continues with student volunteer Mihika! 🎅✨ She’s sharing insights into future research and innovations, all hoping for better treatments and brighter outcomes for #CHISuperheroes. 💓

🎃👻 This Halloween, let’s raise awareness for Congenital Hyperinsulinism (CHI).
Too much insulin = severe hypoglycemia, depriving the brain of glucose and leading to neurological harm.

Reporting on successful use of SC-islets in drug development for #congenitalhyperinsulinism! We identified ghrelin analogues as novel candidate drugs, demonstrating reversal of hypoglycaemia in mice, which was caused by the hyperinsulinaemic human SC-islets #PancSky www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
💙 #Rezolute was honored to support the #CHI Family Conference at @childrensphila.bsky.social this past weekend! Grateful to CHI, the physicians, and—most importantly—the patients & families who connected with the team and shared their #congenitalhyperinsulinism stories.
#PedSky #RZLTInAction
Exciting day learning from families, clinicians about the latest in #congenitalhyperinsulinism and sharing updates about #ersodetug! Thank you #CHI and #ChildrensHospitalofPhiladelphia for an amazing day!
Do you know the difference between Hyperinsulinism and Diabetes?
They both involve insulin dysregulation. However, they are both distinct conditions,

Great to see a parliamentary debate focussing on some of the many challenges faced by families living with #congenitalhyperinsulinism
Really pleased that the great work of the Exeter NHS Genomics lab and research team were also acknowledged 🧬
