thanks Dr. Sue!
Where can I find what the normal non fasting blood glucose should be? And how low is 'low enough' to be an indication for insulinoma?
Also what exactly do you mean by seeing how she acts on prednisolone? Measuring her blood glucose again or just seeing what her behaviour is like? (she doesn't really show the typical symptoms of insulinoma (yet) although she is more sleepy than she used to be... (but then again she's 6 years old)
Thanks again!
