Abstract
This chapter looks at laboratory evaluation of hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia. The following topics are considered: glucose homeostasis, measurement of blood glucose, hypoglycaemia, hyperglycaemia and diabetes mellitus. Case studies are included.

A suggested diagnostic approach and emergency therapeutic approach to hypoglycaemia. a Avoid dextrose bolus in insulinoma cases if possible because this may lead to further insulin release.
