Miriam: If I posted that this patient was 23 years old, I must have lost
my mind. The patient is 23 months old, actually 24 months now. The dip
stick showed only trace amounts. My understanding is that a fasting
glucose challenge is really the gold standard test for this. Am I correct?
If so, how long can we starve a baby that normally never goes more than 4
hours without eating even at night?
TIA!
Chris
