Inherited disorders of glucose homeostasis (controversies in hypoglycaemia)
This will now be a virtual course.
Scientific Organising Committee:
- Indi Banerjee, Royal Manchester Children's Hospital
- Beth Jameson, Manchester Centre for Genomic Medicine, St Marys Hospital
- Jean-Marie Saudubray, Consultant in Metabolic Medicine, Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, Paris
- John Walter, Manchester Centre for Genomic Medicine, St Marys Hospital
Target audience:

Learning objectives:
The aims of this teaching course are:
- To review normal mechanisms of glucose homeostasis.
- To review genetic endocrine causes of glucose metabolism, particularly hyperinsulinism and hyperinsulinism-like hypoglycaemias.
- To review inherited metabolic disorders predisposing to hypoglycaemia or hypoglycorrhachia.
- To discuss the aetiology, investigation and management of unexplained hypoglycaemia, in particular ‘idiopathic ketotic hypoglycaemia’.
- To agree on a practical approach to investigation and management.
