The main question it aims to answer is: Is the incidence of postprandial hypotension high in patients who undergo mixed meal test? Is insulin level higher in individuals with postprandial hypotension compared to those without during a mixed meal test? Patients with postprandial symptoms were scheduled for a mixed meal test, during which plasma glucose, insulin, C-peptide, blood pressure, and heart rate were measured at specific time points.
