  • Title: Does glucose infusion exacerbate metformin-associated lactate acidosis? A case report.
    Author: Brouwers MC, Schaper N, Keeris L.
    Journal: Diabetes Res Clin Pract; 2009 Jul; 85(1):e1-3. PubMed ID: 19427052.
    Abstract:
    Metformin-associated lactate acidosis is a rare, but life-threatening complication of a widely prescribed medication. We describe here a case of metformin-associated lactate acidosis that rapidly deteriorated probably as a consequence of concomitant glucose infusion that was initiated to correct sulphonylurea-induced hypoglycemia.
