Hi, Mike, Sukie, and everyone else,
First, I agree with you. 139 b/g isn't insulinoma
unless it's after pred or perhaps a sweet treat was
given.

I agree.
I originally answered the question as asked since it
was a question about insulinoma surgery. I'd
certainly want the insulinoma confirmed (as in
repeated tests showing low blood glucose) before
considering any such step.
All the best,
Caity and the furious five
