Article Synopsis
- The insulin tolerance test (ITT) is crucial for diagnosing cortisol and growth hormone deficiencies, but there's debate on whether to give carbohydrates to patients once hypoglycemia occurs.
- A study with 15 participants compared the effects of normal Cola vs. Cola Zero during ITT and found that normal Cola significantly reduced hypoglycemia duration and improved patient comfort.
- Although sugar did not alter cortisol and growth hormone peaks, it did enhance recovery from low glucose levels and relief from hypoglycemia symptoms, reinforcing the idea that addressing hypoglycemia quickly is beneficial for patient comfort.
