Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of insulinoma include S. glucose <55 mg/dL[1] S. Insulin >5-10 μU/mL S. C-Peptide >200 pmol/L S. proinsulin ≥ 22 pmol/L Patients with insulinoma may have elevated insulin to glucose ratio >0.4, which is usually suggestive of insulinoma after a 72-hour fast test.It is a gold standard test.[2] 1/3rd or 33% patients have clinical symptoms with in 12 hours of the fasting. 80% develop within 24 hours 90% develop within 48 hours 100% develop within 72 hours
