Little data exist on potentially adverse valsartan ingestions reported to poison control centers. ⋯ The severity of the medical outcome associated with adult valsartan ingestions depended on the dose and the circumstances of the ingestion. Such information is useful for creating triage guidelines for the management of adult valsartan ingestions.

We will describe insulin and C-peptide levels observed in sulfonylurea-induced hypoglycemia and determine whether these levels differed if obtained before or after hypoglycemic therapy. ⋯ Insulin > or =3.9 muIU/mL, C-peptide > or =1.4 ng/mL, and glucose <49 mg/dl are consistent with sulfonylurea-induced hypoglycemia. BEFORE levels were lower, but they were consistent with sulfonylurea-induced hypoglycemia.
