Abstract
Studies indicate that an increase in plasma glucose concentration greater than 30 mg/100 ml in response to a pharmacological dose of glucagon, given when plasma glucose is less than 40 mg/100 ml, offers a good separation of patients with hyperinsulinism from children with hypoglycaemia not due to excessive insulin.
