A 53 year old male nurse presents with drowsiness and confusion for several hours. Prior to becoming drowsy, he complained of palpitations and sweating. He was previously well, with an unremarkable medical history. He does not drink or use recreational drugs.
His full blood count and electrolytes are normal, but his capillary blood sugar is 40 mg/dl. Following administration of IV dextrose, he recovers completely.
