About
IKH New England was founded after recognizing a significant gap in regional support for families living with Idiopathic Ketotic Hypoglycemia (IKH). While scientific knowledge about IKH continues to grow, many families struggle to find reliable educational resources, connect with specialists, or meet others facing similar challenges.
We believe that no family should have to navigate a rare metabolic condition alone. By fostering collaboration among affected families, clinicians, and researchers, we hope to improve access to evidence-based information while advancing awareness of IKH.
