Inclusion Criteria:
* Any age, but primarily infants 0-6 months given typical age of initial presentation.
* Children with diagnosis of FoHI or DiHI based on clinical criteria (fasting hypoglycemia accompanied by inadequate suppression of plasma insulin, inappropriately low plasma free fatty acid and plasma-hydroxybutyrate concentrations, and an inappropriate glycemic response to glucagon injection)

* Hypoglycemia uncontrolled with medical management (diazoxide, octreotide).
* Able to withdraw medications in time to wash out prior to the scheduled PET scan.
* Patients fulfilling criteria above but with uncontrolled hypoglycemia after initial surgical management (partial or near-total pancreatectomy)
* Normal hepatic and renal function.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Treatment with other, third-line, medications for hyperinsulinism (nifedipine, glucagon).
* Patients with hepatic or renal insufficiency.
