Topic: Causes of hypoglycemia

	Hypoglycemia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hypoglycemia (hypoglycæmia in the UK) is a medical term referring to a pathologic state produced by a lower than normal amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood.
		When hypoglycemia occurs repeatedly, a record or "diary" of the spells over several months, noting the circumstances of each spell (time of day, relation to last meal, nature of last meal, response to carbohydrate, and so forth) may be useful in recognizing the nature and cause of the hypoglycemia.
		Hypoglycemia is also a term of contemporary American folk medicine which refers to a recurrent state of symptoms of altered mood and subjective cognitive efficiency, sometimes accompanied by adrenergic symptoms, but not necessarily by measured low blood glucose.

		Hypoglycemia should always be excluded as the cause of an initial episode of convulsions, coma, or a sudden alteration of neurobehavioral functioning.
		Hypoglycemia occurs within two hours of glucose ingestion and is associated with an even earlier hyperglycemic phase due to the rapid absorption of glucose with prompt insulin secretion.
		The term functional hypoglycemia has been used to describe such patients, many of whom may have emotional complaints that are unrelated to the prevailing blood glucose concentration and whose symptom complex may be triggered by placebo rather than by glucose.

		Hypoglycemia can be caused by abnormal function of the hormones that regulate blood sugar or by the inability of the body to store adequate amounts of glucose.
		The cause of Hypoandrenocorticism is unknown, although immune-mediated destruction of the adrenal gland is suspected in most cases.
		A diagnosis of hypoglycemia as a cause of neurological problems is based on the presentation of clinical signs of hypoglycemia, blood glucose concentration test shows levels below normal, and the fact that clinical signs go away when glucose is administered to the patient.

		By far the commonest disorder of this kind in children is ketotic hypoglycemia, which occurs in young children when the carbohydrate intake is reduced, often as a result of diminished appetite in a minor illness, to the point that fat stores are needed for energy and ketones are produced.
		Reactive hypoglycemia is different from spontaneous hypoglycemia, which is not associated with meal ingestion.
		Identification of the possible cause of hypoglycemia and selection of diagnostic modalities are facilitated by considering whether the patient appears to be healthy (with or without compensated coexistent disease) or ill (with a disease known to have a proclivity to develop hypoglycemia, or is hospitalized).

		An excessively high blood insulin level (hyperinsulinemia) may be caused by a rare disorder of the beta cells in your pancreas, where insulin is released.
		Hypoglycemia may result from tumors other than a beta cell tumor of the pancreas.
		Some tumors don't cause an overproduction of insulin, but cause excessive utilization of glucose by the tumor or they result in an overproduction of insulin-like substances.
