Why there is hypoglycemia in kwashiokor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kwashiorkor: Not much I can say about this. Please go to "PubMed" and type in "kwashiorkor in hypoglycemia". There are 28 publications in the last 28 years and the most recent is article #2, published in 2010. Not easy reading but important for you and you will likely need to have a diabetes specialist help you understand this. There are related articles on the web (not PubMed) but no meat to them.
