== Overview ==
 
Causes of hypoglycemia depend on age; neonatal causes are transient neonatal hypoglycemia, [[Prematurity]], [[intrauterine growth retardation]], [[perinatal asphyxia]], [[Sepsis|sepsis,]] congenital [[hypopituitarism]], beta sympathomimetic drugs[[Congenital hyperinsulinism|, congenital hyperinsulinism]], [[Infant of diabetic mother (patient information)|infant of a diabetic mother]][[Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome|, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome]] and [[Inborn error of metabolism|inborn errors of carbohydrate metabolism]]. Causes of adult hypoglycemia are: [[insulin]] or insulin secretagogue drugs, [[alcohol]], [[hepatic failure]], [[Renal insufficiency|renal failure]], [[cardiac failure]], [[sepsis]], non-islet cell [[Pancreatic cancer|pancreatic tumors]], [[insulinoma]], reactive hypoglycemia, post [[Gastric bypass surgery|gastric bypass]] hypoglycemia, and [[Autoimmune|autoimmune]]<nowiki/>e hypoglycemia.

== Causes ==
===Common Causes===
==== Hypoglycemia in Newborn Infants ====
Hypoglycemia is a common problem in critically ill or extremely [[low birthweight infants]]. If not due to maternal hyperglycemia, in most cases it is multifactorial, transient and easily supported. In a minority of cases hypoglycemia turns out to be due to significant [[hyperinsulinism]], [[hypopituitarism]] or an [[inborn error of metabolism]] and presents more of a management challenge.
*Transient neonatal hypoglycemia
**[[Prematurity]], [[intrauterine growth retardation]], [[perinatal asphyxia]]
**Maternal hyperglycemia due to [[diabetes]] or iatrogenic glucose administration
**[[Sepsis]]
**Prolonged fasting (e.g., due to inadequate breast milk or condition interfering with feeding)
*Congenital hypopituitarism
*[[Congenital hyperinsulinism]], several types, both transient and persistent
*[[Inborn error of metabolism|Inborn errors of carbohydrate metabolism]] such as [[glycogen storage disease]]
 
====Hypoglycemia in Young Children====
Single episodes of hypoglycemia due to [[gastroenteritis]] or fasting, but recurrent episodes nearly always indicate either an [[inborn error of metabolism]], congenital hypopituitarism, or congenital hyperinsulinism
*Prolonged fasting
**[[Diarrhea]]l illness in young children, especially [[rotavirus]] [[gastroenteritis]]
*Idiopathic [[ketotic hypoglycemia]]
*Isolated [[growth hormone deficiency]], [[hypopituitarism]]
*[[Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia|Insulin excess]]
**Hyperinsulinism due to several [[congenital hyperinsulinism|congenital disorders of insulin secretion]]
**Insulin injected for type 1 diabetes
*[[Gastric dumping syndrome]] (after gastrointestinal surgery)
*Other congenital metabolic diseases; some of the common include
**[[Maple syrup urine disease]] and other [[organic aciduria]]s
**[[Glycogen storage disease|Type 1 glycogen storage disease]]
**Disorders of fatty acid oxidation
**[[Medium chain acylCoA dehydrogenase deficiency]] ([[MCAD]])
*Accidental ingestions
**[[Sulfonylurea]]s, [[propranolol]] and others
**[[Ethanol]] (mouthwash, "leftover morning-after-the-party drinks")
 
====Hypoglycemia in Older Children and Young Adults====
By far the most common cause of severe hypoglycemia in this age range is insulin injected for [[type I diabetes|type 1 diabetes]]. Circumstances should provide clues fairly quickly for the new diseases causing severe hypoglycemia. All of the congenital metabolic defects, congenital forms of [[hyperinsulinism]], and congenital hypopituitarism are likely to have already been diagnosed or are unlikely to start causing new hypoglycemia at this age. [[Body mass]] is large enough to make starvation hypoglycemia and idiopathic [[ketotic hypoglycemia]] quite uncommon. Recurrent mild hypoglycemia may fit a [[reactive hypoglycemia]] pattern, but this is also the peak age for [[idiopathic postprandial syndrome]], and recurrent "spells" in this age group can be traced to [[orthostatic hypotension]] or [[hyperventilation]] as often as demonstrable hypoglycemia.
*Insulin-induced hypoglycemia
**Insulin injected for type 1 diabetes
**Factitious insulin injection ([[Munchausen syndrome]])
**[[Insulin-secreting pancreatic tumor]]
**[[Reactive hypoglycemia]] and [[idiopathic postprandial syndrome]]
*[[Addison's disease]]
*[[Sepsis]]
 
====Hypoglycemia in Older Adults====
The incidence of hypoglycemia due to complex drug interactions, especially involving oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin for diabetes rises with age. Though much rarer, the incidence of insulin-producing tumors also rises with advancing age. Most tumors causing hypoglycemia by mechanisms other than insulin excess occur in adults.
*Insulin-induced hypoglycemia
**Insulin injected for diabetes
**Factitious insulin injection ([[Munchausen syndrome]])
**Excessive effects of oral diabetes drugs, [[beta-blockers]], or drug interactions, [[Tiagabine]]
**[[Insulin-secreting pancreatic tumor]]
**Alimentary (rapid jejunal emptying with exaggerated insulin response)
***After gastrectomy [[dumping syndrome]] or bowel bypass surgery or resection
**[[Reactive hypoglycemia]] and [[idiopathic postprandial syndrome]]
*[[Causes of hypoglycemia#Extrapancreatic Tumors|Tumor hypoglycemia]], Doege-Potter syndrome
*Acquired [[adrenal insufficiency]]
*Acquired [[hypopituitarism]]

Overview

Causes of hypoglycemia depend on age; neonatal causes are transient neonatal hypoglycemia, Prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation, perinatal asphyxia, sepsis, congenital hypopituitarism, beta sympathomimetic drugs, congenital hyperinsulinism, infant of a diabetic mother, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and inborn errors of carbohydrate metabolism. Causes of adult hypoglycemia are: insulin or insulin secretagogue drugs, alcohol, hepatic failure, renal failure, cardiac failure, sepsis, non-islet cell pancreatic tumors, insulinoma, reactive hypoglycemia, post gastric bypass hypoglycemia, and autoimmunee hypoglycemia.
