Abstract

Abnormalities of blood lactate concentrations in diabetes have been described during the past years in an increasing number of reports. A major reason for the gain in interest in lactic acid metabolism has been the recognition of the clinical syndrome of lactic acidosis, which is particularly related to diabetes. In many cases biguanide therapy has to be implicated as the underlying cause. The factors leading to altered blood lactate levels are manifold; the present paper will focus on those that are of specific importance for the production of hyperlactataemia in diabetics.
