Congenital Diabetes Mellitus and Neonatal Pseudodiabetes Mellitus

Neonatal hyperglycaemia: case report with plasma insulin studies.

“…A toxic effect on the brain has been postulated (Strandqvist, 1932;Arey, 1953). Engleson and Zetterqvist (1957) favoured a carbohydrate disturbance of steroid diabetic character. With the introduction of insulin assay it is now possible to study insulin secretion in these cases.…”

Immunological Diseases and Pregnancy

“…Ramsey, 1926;Lawrence and McCance, 1931 ;Strandqvist, 1932;Nawrocka-Kanska, 1952;Arey, 1953;Keidan, 1955;Engleson and Zetterqvist, 1957), and a further case was described by Sweetnam and Sykes (1962). These babies were born to normal women with no significant family history of diabetes; they were under weight at birth in relation to maturity (Fig.…”

Hypoglycaemia and temporary hyperglycaemia in infants of low birth weight for materity.

“…Our experience has been different, and we are, therefore, reporting this further series of hypoglycaemic dysmature infants. Neligan et al (1963), Engleson and Zetterqvist (1957), and Hutchison, Keay, and Kerr (1962), commented upon the similarity in appearance between such infants and infants with temporary neonatal hyperglycaemia. One of our patients with symptomatic hypoglycaemia developed temporary neonatal hyperglycaemia and required insulin therapy.…”
