Although most commonly attributed to congenital hyperinsulinism, disorders of impaired insulin signaling with hypoketotic hypoglycemia despite low or undetectable insulin occur in fewer than 1 in 1 000 000 infants worldwide, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective therapy. We report a Filipino infant with recurrent fasting hypoglycemic seizures and hemihypertrophy. Biochemical evaluation showed absent ketones with low to mildly detectable insulin, suggesting dysregulated insulin signaling. In a resource-limited setting without access to diazoxide or advanced imaging, clinical and biochemical evaluation guided management. Genetic testing later confirmed a pathogenic AKT2 variant (c.49G&amp;gt;A; p.Glu17Lys). Euglycemia was achieved through individualized nutritional strategies including uncooked cornstarch and nocturnal enteral feeding. This case highlights clues to AKT2-related hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia with hemihypertrophy (HIHGHH), demonstrates that low insulin does not exclude insulin-mediated hypoglycemia, and underscores the importance of careful clinical evaluation alongside molecular diagnosis to guide management and prevent neurologic sequelae.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/jcemcr\/luag231","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,6]],"date-time":"2026-08-06T11:53:06Z","timestamp":1786017186000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Hypoinsulinemic
