A Comparison of the Blood Glucose, Growth Hormone, and Cortisol Responses to Two Doses of Insulin (0.15 U/kg vs. 0.10 U/kg) in the Insulin Tolerance Test: A Single-Centre Audit of 174 Cases

Figure 1

Glucose, cortisol, and growth hormone responses to standard (0.15 U/kg) and low-dose (0.10 U/kg) insulin tolerance test. Panel A depicts glucose responses to standard dose (black circles) and low dose (white circles). Circles represent mean, error bars represent standard error, and the grey dashed line identifies the threshold for hypoglycaemia (2.2 mmol/L). Panel B depicts the cortisol responses, standard dose vs. low dose. Panel C depicts the growth hormone (GH) responses.
