Abstract
A case is described in which a monoclonal gammopathy was associated with postprandial hypoglycaemia, resulting from insulin binding by the M-component. The monoclonal immunoglobulin possessed a low affinity for insulin, but its binding capacity was very high. Cytotoxic chemotherapy and diazoxide treatment failed to prevent severe hypoglycaemic attacks.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
