Insulin or Oral Hypoglycemic Overdose: This is often the most common cause of hypoglycemia, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus who are on insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents. The overdose can lead to an excessive decrease in blood glucose levels.

Diabetic Medication Mismanagement: Incorrect dosing or timing of diabetic medications can lead to hypoglycemia. This includes taking too much medication, taking it too frequently, or not adjusting the dose with changes in diet or physical activity.
Alcohol-Induced Hypoglycemia: Alcohol can cause hypoglycemia by inhibiting gluconeogenesis in the liver. This is particularly common in individuals who binge drink without eating.
Fasting or Starvation: Prolonged fasting or starvation can lead to hypoglycemia due to the depletion of glucose stores and the inability to generate enough glucose through gluconeogenesis.
Critical Illness: Severe illnesses, such as sepsis, heart failure, or liver failure, can cause hypoglycemia due to increased glucose consumption, impaired glucose production, or both.

Insulinoma: A rare tumor of the pancreas that produces excess insulin, leading to hypoglycemia. Although rare, missing this diagnosis can lead to severe and recurrent hypoglycemic episodes.
Adrenal Insufficiency: The adrenal glands produce hormones that help regulate blood sugar. A deficiency in these hormones (e.g., Addison's disease) can lead to hypoglycemia.
Pituitary Hormone Deficiency: Certain pituitary hormones, like growth hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), play roles in glucose metabolism. Deficiencies in these hormones can cause hypoglycemia.
Hypopituitarism: A condition characterized by the underproduction of one or more pituitary hormones, which can lead to hypoglycemia among other symptoms.

Glycogen Storage Diseases: Genetic disorders that affect the body's ability to store or release glucose from glycogen, leading to hypoglycemia.
Glucose-6-Phosphatase Deficiency (Von Gierke's Disease): A rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to convert glycogen into glucose, leading to severe hypoglycemia.
Congenital Hyperinsulinism: A rare condition where the pancreas produces too much insulin, leading to hypoglycemia.
Factitious Hypoglycemia: Self-induced hypoglycemia, often seen in individuals with factitious disorder imposed on self (Munchausen syndrome), where they deliberately ingest insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents to mimic illness.
