title: Glucose metabolism in a patient with insulinoma complicated by hyperosmolar non-ketotic state.
abstract: A case of a patient with organic hyperinsulinism complicated by the development of hyperosmolar state is described. The hyperosmolar state was induced by vomiting and dehydration during an acute urinary tract infection. Impairment of glucose metabolism was confirmed by the finding of reduced tissue sensitivity to insulin during a euglycaemic clamp.
