A Clinical Case of Hypoglycemia Suggestive of Early Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

A clinical case of hypoglycemia was reported. Hypoglycemia in this case was characterized by delayed recovery and low stationary values of blood sugar in insulin and tolbutamide tests. Since the results of glucose tolerance test in this case met precisely the diagnostic criteria of early diabetes described by Seltzer et al., a possible relation between hypoglycemia and early diabetes was discussed on the basis of laboratory examinations. The follow-up study of the case is still continued.
