ABSTRACT

Objective To analyse the characterisitics of daily blood glucose profiles of insulinoma using continuous glucose monitoring system(CGMS) and to investigate the value of CGMS in the diagnosis of insulinoma. Methods The blood glucose of 6 patients with pathologically-confirmed insulinoma(insulinoma group) were detected by CGMS for 3 consecutive days.The mean blood glucose(MBG),M-value of Schlichtkrull(M-value),frequency distribution of glucose levels and the hypoglycemic episodes of CGMS were measured,and the results were compared with those of normal glucose regulation(n=6,control group) and patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes with reactive hypoglycemia(n=5,diabetes group). Results The M-value of insulinoma group was significantly higher than that of control group(P0.05).The M-value and MBG of diabetes group were higher than those of insulinoma group and control group(P
