Q. What are the possible reasons for hypoglycemia in the absence of insulin issues?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There can be multiple reasons for hypoglycemia in your case.

The first reason can be due to prolonged fasting. Maybe your body could not cope and developed hypoglycemia. Secondly, it can be due to increased body metabolism under the effect of thyroid medication. Your body's glucose requirement could have increased. The third reason can be due to low cortisol levels.

But the important thing is that your insulin levels were normal, and sugar levels did not increase. That is good news as you do not have diabetes. Low sugar is not something of great concern. You can simply ignore it and continue your treatment for Hashimoto's disease. You will be completely fine.

Hope this helps.

Kindly revert back in case of further queries.

Thank you.
