Patients with insulinomas usually develop neuroglycopenic symptoms.  These include recurrent headache, lethargy, [[diplopia]], and [[blurred vision]], particularly with exercise or fasting.  Severe [[hypoglycemia]] may result in [[seizure]]s, [[coma]], and permanent neurological damage.  Symptoms resulting from the catecholaminergic response to hypoglycemia (i.e. tremulousness, palpitations, [[tachycardia]], sweating, hunger, anxiety, nausea) are not as common.  Sudden weight gain (the patient can become massively obese) is sometimes seen. A neater list of symptoms would include:


* [[Anxiety]]
* Behavior changes
* [[Blurred vision]]
* [[Confusion]]
* [[Convulsions]]
* [[Dizziness]]
* [[Headache]]
* [[Hunger]]
* [[Loss of consciousness]]
* [[Rapid heart rate]]
* [[Sweating]]
* [[Tremor]]
* [[Weight gain]]


====Antibiotic Regimen====
In case of serious skin, soft tissues, and bones infection, a combination of [[antibiotic]]s need to be administered:<ref name="pmid17277290">{{cite journal| author=Griffith DE, Aksamit T, Brown-Elliott BA, Catanzaro A, Daley C, Gordin F et al.| title=An official ATS/IDSA statement: diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of nontuberculous mycobacterial diseases. | journal=Am J Respir Crit Care Med | year= 2007 | volume= 175 | issue= 4 | pages= 367-416 | pmid=17277290 | doi=10.1164/rccm.200604-571ST | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=17277290  }} </ref>

There is no optimal multidrug regimen for the treatment of pulmonary ''M. abscessus'' infection. A successful treatment is defined by 12 months of negative sputum culture.  In the majority of cases, pulmonary ''M. abscessus'' infection is chronic and incurable.
 
The suggested combination of [[antibiotic]]s to be administered is:<ref name="pmid17277290">{{cite journal| author=Griffith DE, Aksamit T, Brown-Elliott BA, Catanzaro A, Daley C, Gordin F et al.| title=An official ATS/IDSA statement: diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of nontuberculous mycobacterial diseases. | journal=Am J Respir Crit Care Med | year= 2007 | volume= 175 | issue= 4 | pages= 367-416 | pmid=17277290 | doi=10.1164/rccm.200604-571ST | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=17277290  }} </ref>

''PLUS''
* [[Amikacin]]
''PLUS''
* [[Cefoxitin]] ''OR'' [[imipenem]]
 
Note that, in case of [[macrolide]] resistance, the antibiotic therapy should be chosen based on the suscepibility profile of ''M. abscessus''.

*Endocrine cells in insulinoma are organised in nests and trabecular pattern scattered throughout a fibro-vascular stroma with well-localised fibrous septa separating it from normal tissue[1]
  • Absence of exocrine tissue with the loss of normal pancreatic architecture



Patients with insulinomas usually develop neuroglycopenic symptoms. These include recurrent headache, lethargy, diplopia, and blurred vision, particularly with exercise or fasting. Severe hypoglycemia may result in seizures, coma, and permanent neurological damage. Symptoms resulting from the catecholaminergic response to hypoglycemia (i.e. tremulousness, palpitations, tachycardia, sweating, hunger, anxiety, nausea) are not as common. Sudden weight gain (the patient can become massively obese) is sometimes seen. A neater list of symptoms would include:
