Paediatric hypoglycaemia often requires specific investigations to determine aetiology. Samples from the time of hypoglycaemia may not be available and a diagnostic fasting test may be required. Additionally, fasting studies can determine safe fasting intervals and prolonged oral glucose challenges can assess hypoglycaemia due to abnormal post‐prandial glucose handling. This audit reviewed the current utility and yield of fasting studies, prolonged oral glucose challenges and starch loads.
