Why does a person experience hypoglycemic episodes after the laparoscopic removal of acute perforated appendicitis?

Hi doctor,

I am a 56 year old female who starting having hypoglycemic episodes after the laparoscopy removal of an acute perforated appendicitis. I was treated with heavy doses of antibiotics and had to wait six weeks before the inflammation went down to get my appendix removed. I recently consulted an endocrinologist, who determined that my amylase and c-peptide levels are elevated. My amalyse was 192 following the two glucose tolerance tests, the c peptide was low at 1.0, then increased on the second test at 10.2, but my glucose was normal.

I have been referred to gastroenterology to investigate if there might have been a surgical issue but have not met with them. In the meantime, I am monitoring my glucose levels and have cut back on exercise and sticking to my whole food plant based diet. Please advise.
