Frequent falls and confusion: recurrent hypoglycemia in a patient with tuberous sclerosis complex

Recurrent hypoglycemia is common, but its presentation is often insidious resulting in delays in diagnosis and significant morbidity. We describe a case of an insulinoma presenting with falls and confusion in a patient with tuberous sclerosis, demonstrating the importance of early hypoglycemia ident...
