Reduced brain glucose with normal plasma glucose in salicylate poisoning

Low plasma glucose with normal finger-stick glucose.

A 63-year-old man with metastatic lung cancer admitted for severe hip pain and malaise was noted to have erratic daily morning plasma glucose concentrations, with several critical values below 40 mg/dL ( 2.2 mmol/L). Each time he had a critically low laboratory glucose value, a point-of-care finger-stick glucose was found to be within reference intervals. The remaining chemistry results were no...

What is a normal glucose value? Differences in indexes of plasma glucose homeostasis in subjects with normal fasting glucose.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate differences in indexes of plasma glucose/insulin homeostasis and cardiovascular disease risk factors among subjects with normal fasting glucose (NFG), impaired fasting glucose, or glucose intolerance. Although individuals with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) concentrations > 5.4 mmol/l but < 6.1 mmol/l have been shown to have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes ov...

Insulin resistance & secretion in subjects with normal fasting plasma glucose.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Lowering the diagnostic threshold of normal fasting plasma glucose (FPG) from 6.1 to 5.56 mmol/l has been proposed by American Diabetes Association. As early detection of subjects with risk of diabetes is important, it is crucial to understand the relationship between different levels of FPG, insulin resistance (IR) and insulin secretion. We measured IR and insulin secre...

Metabolic profile of normal glucose-tolerant subjects with elevated 1-h plasma glucose values

AIM The aim of this study was to compare the metabolic profiles of subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) with and without elevated 1-h postglucose (1HrPG) values during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). METHODOLOGY The study group comprised 996 subjects without known diabetes seen at tertiary diabetes center between 2010 and 2014. NGT was defined as fasting plasma glucose <100 mg/...
