  • Title: Inadvertent sulfonylurea overdosage and hypoglycemia in an elderly woman: failure of serum hypoglycemia screening.
    Author: Earle KE, Rushakoff RJ, Goldfine ID.
    Journal: Diabetes Technol Ther; 2003; 5(3):449-51. PubMed ID: 12828829.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of an 82 year-old woman who had two episodes of documented hypoglycemia. Initial laboratory testing revealed hyperinsulinemia and a negative serum sulfonylurea screen. While these data suggested the presence of an insulinoma, further evaluation of the case revealed inadvertent ingestion of glimepiride, a sulfonylurea not included in the standard serum sulfonylurea screen.
