Popis: Suppression of glucagon secretion by glucose has been suggested as an essential component of normal glucose tolerance. Children with chemical diabetes have abnormal OGTT with hyperin-sulinism (Amer. J. Med. Sci. 271:35, 76). Hypergluconinemia may play a role in the pathogenesis of juvenile diabetes. Thirteen chemical diabetics and 17 normal children had an OGTT (1.75gm/kg) and 20 juvenile diabetics and 8 controls had an oral L-alanine test (200mg/kg). Both tests were performed after an overnight fast, blood samples were drawn at 0, 30, 60, 120 and 180 min. Blood glucose and plasma immunoreactive insulin and glucagon were measured. Chemical diabetics had significant hyperinsulinism at 60' (p
