Whipple's Triad

Whipple's Triad is a set of three criteria used to diagnose insulinoma, a tumor that produces too much insulin. It includes: 1) symptoms of low blood sugar (like dizziness or confusion), 2) a confirmed low blood sugar level during these symptoms, and 3) relief of symptoms after eating or receiving sugar. These signs help healthcare providers identify insulinoma by linking symptoms directly to episodes of hypoglycemia caused by excess insulin.
