Inherited disorders of glucose homeostasis (controversies in hypoglycaemia)

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:

The target audience of this course involves paediatric and adult metabolic physicians and endocrinologists. Participants are expected to have prior knowledge about the field; practical experience with diagnosis treatment, and/or basic research is recommended.

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.

The full course details and online registration can be accessed on our website: www.rrd-foundation.org.
