Low glucose levels (hypoglycemia) are seen with adrenal insufficiency, alcohol intake, extensive liver disease, hypopituitarism, hypothyroidism, insulin overdose, starvation, insulinomas (insulin-producing pancreatic tumors), and drugs--acetaminophen and anabolic steroids. The more common functional tumors include insulinomas, glucagonomas, somatostatinomas, gastrinomas, and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide tumors. Conclusion: Classically, insulinomas present with weight gain and fasting hypoglycemia but may present with postprandial hypoglycemia and weight loss. |
