One of the first things they did for my husband was to put him on OCTREOTIDE injections. This didn't “cure” the hypoglycemia but did help. He is currently seeing improvements since starting CAP/TEM treatments. My best to you.

Was an insulinoma the cause for his hypoglycemia? I have not researched on Octreotide much. Was this ordered pre-op or post-op as applicable? I am not familiar with the terms CAP/TEM treatments. What do these entail? Are these used for post-op management or for management for those who are NOT surgical candidates?
Many thanks for your reply and support.
