Putting it all together….

Permanent Post-prandial Fasting

• According to its timing

PHHI, factitious HFI, Gal, PHHI

Short fasting: GSDILong fasting: FBP, FAO

Timing ?Hepatomegaly ?Lactate ?Ketones ?

I II III IVPhase 1: Post-prandial <2.5 hours after meal

Hyperinsulinism Hereditary fructose intolerance

Phase 2: Short fast >2.5 hours to <12 hours after mealGlycogenosis, Glycogen synthase defect Gluconeogenesis defects

Phase 3: Medium to long fast >12 hours after mealGluconeogenesis defectsMostly fatty acid oxidation defects with hypoketosisKetotic hypoglycemia with major ketosis

Hypoglycemia?

A 9 year old male is brought to the emergency room due to vomiting and lethargy shortly after a birthday party. (glc 40mg/dL)

PMHx is significant for FTT in late infancy which resolved without determination of a diagnosis. He had had several bouts of vomiting in the past, usually after consuming candy or soft drinks. Labs reveal elevated AST and ALT.

Or more easy to remember

• Hypoglycemia + Hepatomegaly= GSD

• Hypoglycemia + high Insulin= PHHI

• Hypoglycemia – ketones = PHHI or FAO» Measure insulin

• Postprandial hypoglycemia = HFI

• High ketones and acidosis = ketone metabolism

• Consider central hypo = GLUT1

• Glucose

• Lactate

• Insulin + cortisol

• ACARP

• Urine Ketones+ Organic acids

• (FFA, BHB = 2 ml heparin + freeze)
