Abstract

To study the persistence of hypoglycaemic symptoms, changes in blood glucose concentrations, and the relation between reported symptoms and measured blood glucose values in functional hypoglycaemia. Re-evaluation of symptoms in patients admitted consecutively with suspected hypoglycaemia followed by a case-control study. The Steno Memorial Hospital in Gentofte, Denmark, which specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of and research on endocrine disorders, including hypoglycaemia. 21 Subjects admitted consecutively with hypoglycaemic symptoms that were relieved by eating in whom insulinoma and other organic disorders presenting with hypoglycaemia had been ruled out. Twelve of these subjects with persistent symptoms entered the case-control study, as did a matched control group. Four days of monitoring blood glucose concentrations at home, six daily samples being taken in fixed relation to meals by the finger prick method. Extra samples were taken when symptoms occurred. Blood glucose concentration, glycated haemoglobin concentration, and within subject variation in measured values. After one to three years of observation 19 of the 21 subjects still had symptoms. Six out of 12 subjects experienced hypoglycaemic symptoms during ...Continue Reading
