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
