METHODS: During an 8-month period, patients admitted to a diarrhea treatment center in Bangladesh had their blood glucose concentrations determined. Sixteen patients aged 2 to 10 years with hyperglycemia (blood glucose concentration >10.0 mmol/L) and 20 patients in the same age group with a normal blood glucose concentration (3.3 to 9.0 mmol/L) had blood samples obtained on admission and 4 and 24 hours later for determination of glucoregulatory hormones and gluconeogenic substrates.
