[Longterm observation of latent diabetes mellitus in a prepubertal girl (author's transl)].
In a girl with latent diabetes mellitus, glucose tolerance and insulin release were regularly examined from 6 to 12 years of age. Under diet height and weight increased normally, the glucose intolerance disappeared, and the hypoinsulinism turned into hyperinsulinism with reactive hypoglycemia. This observation demonstrates that in a longitudinal study, the same patient may present in one period with glucose intolerance (latent diabetes) and insulin deficiency and in another period with normal glucose tolerance (prediabetes) and insulin excess.
