Abstract
In a 12-year-old girl, hyperglycemia and an elevated glycohemoglobin c oncentration developed after therapy with growth hormone for familial short stature. Both clinical and biochemical abnormalities disappeared after therapy was discontinued. The insulin response to an oral gluco se tolerance test was abnormal 3 months after discontinuation of growt h hormone; 18 months later, it remained delayed but was normal quantit atively.
