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!
