There are many causes of hypoglycemia in children, which can be divided into physiological and pathological categories. Long-term non-eating, glucose intake can not meet the needs of the body, especially some thin children, glycogen in the body is relatively small, eating interval is too long, the body can not adjust blood sugar levels through the decomposition of glycogen is prone to physiological hypoglycemia. Glycogen storage disease, congenital hypothyroidism, islet cell tumor can cause pathological hypoglycemia, glycogen storage disease is the body can not effectively decompose liver glycogen or muscle glycogen, it may induce hypoglycemia reaction. Hypothyroidism because of thyroid hormone deficiency, will affect the body's glucose metabolism, showing low blood sugar, insulinoma because tumor cells can synthesize and secrete more insulin, accelerate the use and conversion of blood sugar, induce hypoglycemia.
