Hypoglycaemia induced by fructose administration is one of the diagnostic clues to fructose-1,6-diphosphatase (FDPase) deficiency (McKusick 229700). However, the pathological mechanism of this reactive hypoglycaemia is not fully known. This paper describes two siblings with FDPase deficiency, diagnosed enzymatically in leukocytes, who failed to correct reactive hypoglycaemia after glucagon administration even in the fed state, supporting a possibility that disturbed hepatic phosphorylase activity may be a main cause of reactive hypoglycaemia.
