HYPOGLYCEMIA: DIAGNOSTIC WORKUP
(Algorithmic Diagnosis of Symptoms and Signs)

The finding of hypoglycemia on routine blood analysis requires nothing in an asymptomatic patient. If there is doubt, a repeat analysis should be done. If the patient is symptomatic, a 5-hr glucose tolerance test or hospitalization for repeated blood sugar during a 72-hr fast should be done. If these are negative, the patient most likely has functional hypoglycemia. Additional tests to order include a T 4 , plasma, cortisol, plasma growth hormone assay, plasma proinsulin, C-peptide, plasma insulin, CT scan of the abdomen, and a tolbutamide tolerance test. Obtain an endocrinology consult.
