Hexamethonium and insulin hypoglycaemia

Insulin induced hypoglycaemia in migraine.

Insulin induced hypoglycaemia produced migrainous symptoms in only two of 20 migraine sufferers and in none of a matched control group. The relationship of fasting and blood sugar levels to migraine attacks is discussed.

Unawareness of hypoglycaemia and human insulin.

Diagnosis and management of hypoglycaemia due to pancreatic insulin-secreting neoplasia in a German shepherd dog

A 7-year-old castrated male German shepherd dog was presented with a 10-day history of intermittent lethargy, weakness and episodic seizures. Laboratory findings after admission revealed hypoglycaemia and hyperinsulinaemia. Provisional diagnosis of insulinoma was made based on the presence of concurrent hypoglycaemia and elevated insulin level. In exploratory laparotomy a small nodular mass was...

Dextrostix-Eyetone in the insulin hypoglycaemia test.

The Ames Dextrostix-Eyetone system was evaluated for monitoring the blood glucose concentration during insulin-induced hypoglycaemia. The results agreed well with laboratory values for plasma glucose, obtained by an orthotoluidine method, and the method was practicable as a bedside technique. In two cases quick results obtained with the Eyetone enabled the insulin tolerance test to be interrupt...

Hypoglycaemia in insulin-dependent diabetic drivers.

(which in our patient failed to rise with LHRH values). Patients with no chromosome abnormality and an HCG-secreting tumour may have gynaecomastia and an appearance in testicular specimens at biopsy that mimics Klinefelter's syndrome'; they too have normal testosterone values and suppressed FSH values.5 We suggest that karyotyping should be performed on all patients with choriocarcinoma to dete...
