Overview

Insulinoma must be differentiated from other diseases that cause features of hypoglycemia like altered mental status/confusion, profuse sweating and visual disturbances (blurring/diplopia). These are classified on the basis of laboratory findings into exogenous insulin, oral hypoglycemic agents (e.g. sulphonylureas), nesidioblastosis, insulin autoimmune hypoglycemia.

Differentiating insulinoma from other Diseases

Insulinoma must be differentiated from other diseases that cause features of hypoglycemia. These are classified on the basis of laboratory findings.

Differentials for Hypoglycemia on the basis of Laboratory findings:[1]

Diagnoses Laboratory Findings differentiating among causes of Hypoglycemia
S.Glucose
(mg/dL)
C Peptide (pmol/L) S.Insulin (μU/mL) S.Proinsulin
(pmol/L)
S. Beta hydroxybutyrate Glucose increase after glucagon(mg/dL) Oral Hypoglycemic agent Antibodies to Insulin
Normal/Fasting <55 <200 <3 <5 >2.7 <25 - -
Exogenous Insulin <55 <200 >>3 <5 ≤2.7 >25 - -
Insulinoma <55 ≥200 ≥3 ≥5 ≤2.7 >25 - -
Nesidioblastosis

Insulin autoimmune hypoglycemia <55 >>200 >>3 >>5 ≤2.7 >25 - +
Oral hypoglycemic agent <55 ≥200 ≥3 ≥5 ≤2.7 >25 + -
IGF¤ <55 <200 <3 <5 ≤2.7 >25 - -

‡ Free C-peptide and proinsulin concentrations are low
