“…Both the glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and islet (IA-2) auto antibodies were negative (0.22 and 0.35 U/ml, normal <1U/ml respectively). We simultaneously carried out the following laboratory tests, the venous plasma glucose was 50mg/ dl, the serum C-peptide was <0.1ng/ml (0.9-7.1), and the insulin was 45.7μIU/mL (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) using Immulite® 2000 (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics);the test results were compatible with the diagnosis of insulin antibody-related autoimmune hypoglycemia.…”
