Abstract
Uncooked cornstarch (UCCS) loads in 14 patients with type 1 glycogenos is revealed that satisfactory glycaemia was achieved for a median of 4 .25 hours (range 2.5 to 6). Length of glycaemia was related weakly to UCCS dose, but not to patient age or measures of metabolic control. Ca reful. monitoring is required during UCCS treatment.
