Hyperlactataemia in phenformin-treated diabetics.

Raised fasting blood lactate levels were observed in diabetic patients on phenformin in therapeutic dosage. After an intravenous glucose load this effect was exaggerated and the lactate/pyruvate ratio increased. Withdrawal of the drug led to normal blood lactate levels and a fall in the lactate/pyruvate ratio.
