Table 1.

Concurrent labs were collected during a supervised fast

Reference range
(for hypoglycaemia)
Patient test results
Glucose (mmol/L) <3.1 2.9
Insulin (uIU/mL) <3 1
c-peptide (nmol/L) <0.27 0.17
Proinsulin (pmol/L) ≤8 <1.6
BOHB (mmol/L) >2.8 0.47
FFA (mmol/L) >0.78 1.19
IGF-I (ng/mL) 27–228 79
IGF-II (ng/mL) 180–580 244
Anti-insulin receptor Ab Negative Negative
Carnitine (μmol/L) 26–66 24.6
8AM cortisol (nmol/L) >348 627

Normal values quoted are what is expected during fasting, except for IGF-I, IGF-II, anti-insulin Ab, carnitine and 8AM cortisol level, for which reference range is not defined based on glucose level.

BOHB, Beta-hydroxybutyrate; FFA, free fatty acid; IGF, insulin-like growth factor.
