I would be grateful if you would forward me your protocols for investigating a patient who presents acutely with hypoglycaemia. Would anyone be happy with making a definitive biochemical diagnosis based on a single sample with results for glucose (1.0mmol/l), insulin and c-peptide only? Many thanks, Maria Dr Maria Fitzgibbon, FRCPath, Consultant Clinical Biochemist, Head of Department of Clinical Biochemistry & Diagnostic Endocrinology, Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, Eccles St, Dublin 7.
