Abstract
Hypoglycemia is an uncommon clinical problem among non-diabetic patients. It requires systematic evaluation to determine the etiology. It may be related to critical illness, hepatic insufficiency, renal insufficiency, cardiac insufficiency, drugs, alcohol, cortisol insufficiency, growth hormone insufficiency, insulinoma, gastric bypass surgery, and paraneoplastic (insulin-like growth factor-2-related) immune-mediated or inherited metabolic disorders. We aimed to summarize the literature and present a case who suffered from hypoglycemia throughout his life and was diagnosed with fructose-1, 6 bisphosphatase deficiency in adulthood to attract attention to the rare causes of hypoglycemia in adulthood.
