Convulsions may occur as a consequence of insulin-induced hypoglycaemia. We report three patients with insulin-dependent diabetes, who presented with generalized tonic-clonic seizures associated with nocturnal hypoglycaemia. None of the patients had experienced hypoglycaemia during waking hours and the convulsions were mistakenly diagnosed as idiopathic epilepsy. Recognition of the possible hyp...
An Evaluation of Growth Hormone and IGF-1 Responses in Neonates with Hyperinsulinaemic Hypoglycaemia
Background. Hyperinsulinaemic Hypoglycaemia (HH) is the most common cause of severe and persistent hypoglycemia in the neonatal period. It has been shown that the neonates with HH fail to generate adequate serum cortisol counterregulatory response to symptomatic hypoglycemia. However the role played by growth hormone (GH) and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) is not clear. Objectives. To com...
Gastric carcinoma may rarely be the cause of tumour-associated hypoglycaemia. We report the case of an elderly woman who presented in hypoglycaemic coma, and who was found subsequently to have an adenocarcinoma of the stomach. Hypoglycaemia persisted despite prednisolone, diazoxide, and a high concentration dextrose infusion. The few published cases are reviewed in which an association was esta...
AIM To provide estimates of the costs of severe and non-severe insulin-related hypoglycaemia in the UK using the Local Impact of Hypoglycaemia Tool. METHODS Rates of hypoglycaemia were extracted from the UK Hypoglycaemia Study Group observational study. The costs of severe and non-severe hypoglycaemic episodes in insulin-treated adults with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes were estimated from UK da...
BACKGROUND Hypoglycaemia has been associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk and mortality in a number of recent multicentre trials, but the mechanistic links driving this association remain ill defined. This review aims to summarize the available data on how hypoglycaemia may affect CV risk in patients with diabetes. METHODS This was a systematic review of available mechanistic and c...
Elevated blood glucose concentrations (BG) (Hyperglycaemia) are a common complication of prematurity in extremely low birth weight neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and are associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Insulin therapy allows glucose tolerance and weight gain to be increased. However, insulin therapy is commonly associated with a significant increase in l...
Background & Objectives: Streptozotocin (STZ) is used for induction of Type-1 diabetes mellitus in animal models. Its beta-cytotoxic action results in sudden release of insulin leading to severe hypoglycaemia and even mortality. However, its sensitivity varies with species. Present investigation was aimed at studying STZ induced acute clinical effects in rabbits. Methods: Str...
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of nocturnal hypoglycaemia on sleep architecture in adolescents with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). DESIGN 20 adolescents with IDDM (mean age 12.8 years, mean glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) 8.9%) were studied on one night. Plasma glucose was measured every 30 minutes and cortisol and growth hormone levels every 60 minutes. Sleep was recorded using ...
OBJECTIVE Hypoglycaemia is the commonest diabetic emergency and is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. This study looked at the use of the emergency services by people with diabetes, with particular reference to hypoglycaemia. METHOD Data were collected on all attendances related to diabetes at accident and emergency departments at two district general hospitals in Surrey, U...
Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) is the most common fatty acid oxidation disorder, with an incidence of 1:19,000 live births in Australia.1 The typical presentation MCADD between 3 and 24 months age include hypoglycaemia, hepatomegaly sudden death.2 Our case a full term well grown male baby who was born good condition. He became lethargic had long periods without feeds on ...
