Laboratory investigations of hypoglycemia depend on many tests: [[plasma glucose]] is usually <55-70 mg/dL, [[Insulin|insulin,]] [[c-peptide]], [[proinsulin]], [[sulfonylurea]] screen, [[beta-hydroxybutyrate]], 24-hour fasting [[Glucose levels low|glucose level]] and identifying the cause after that.

===Defining Hypoglycemia===
Hypoglycemia can't be diagnosed only by measuring [[blood glucose]] level because it is misleading maneuver with high false positive results. The measurement should be repeated using a collection tube that contains an inhibitor of [[glycolysis]] and processing should not be delayed.
The following three characteristics should be present to diagnose hypoglycemia, which is called  [[Whipple's triad]] and include:<ref name="pmid17127144">{{cite journal| author=Guettier JM, Gorden P| title=Hypoglycemia. | journal=Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am | year= 2006 | volume= 35 | issue= 4 | pages= 753-66, viii-ix | pmid=17127144 | doi=10.1016/j.ecl.2006.09.005 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=17127144  }}</ref>

The strategy is to seek [[Whipple's triad]] under conditions in which hypoglycemia would be expected:
* If the symptoms occur in the [[Fasting plasma glucose|fasting state]], that evaluation should be performed during fasting.
* If symptoms occur in the [[Fasting plasma glucose|fasting state]], that evaluation should be performed during fasting.
* If there is a compelling history of [[postprandial]] symptoms, it is reasonable to seek [[Whipple's triad]] with frequent, timed plasma [[Blood glucose monitoring|glucose measurements]] and recording of any symptoms after a mixed meal.

Overview

Laboratory investigations of hypoglycemia depend on many tests: plasma glucose is usually <55-70 mg/dL, insulin, c-peptide, proinsulin, sulfonylurea screen, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and 24-hour fasting glucose level are another tests that are required to establish the etiology.

Laboratory Findings

Defining Hypoglycemia

The following three characteristics should be present to diagnose hypoglycemia, which is called Whipple's triad and include:[1]

The strategy is to seek Whipple's triad under conditions in which hypoglycemia would be expected:

Fasting evaluation[3][4] Mixed-meal evaluation[5]
  • If prolonged fasting results in an episode of symptomatic hypoglycemia, plasma glucose should be measured repeatedly during fasting.
  • If symptoms occur and hypoglycemia is documented, other tests mentioned above should be performed.
  • If results are equivocal, patient needs another confirmatory test, such as 72-hour fast.
  • If symptoms appear within 5 hours after meals, we should suspect postprandial hypoglycemia.[6]
  • Recurrent sampling before and after meals for the following 5 hours will help diagnosis; If severe symptoms occur, blood glucose must be measured.
  • If Whipple's triad is demonstrated, sulfonylureas, meglitinides, and antibodies to insulin should also be measured.

24-hour fasting

  • The fasting should be stopped in any of the following conditions: [9]
    • Seventy-two hours have passed
    • Plasma glucose concentration is ≤45 mg/dL
    • Patient has symptoms or signs of hypoglycemia
  • The precise level of glucose considered low enough to define hypoglycemia is dependent on:[10][11]
    • Measurement method
    • Age

Identifying the cause

The following table describes the possible causes of hypoglycemia.

Neonatal hypoglycemia:

Most of the neonatal hypoglycemias are transient but suspected cases as following should be investigated for metabolic diseases:

  • Hypoglycemia that requires prolonged high rates of dextrose infusion
  • Persistent hypoglycemia
  • Neurologic symptoms
  • History or physical findings suggestive of metabolic disease
