Recurrent NSAIDs-induced Hypoglycemia in a Nondiabetic Patient
Keywords:
NSAIDs, hypoglycemia, diabetesAbstract
Hypoglycemia is defined by a low blood glucose level associated with clinical symptoms. Hypoglycemia may be related to treatment of diabetes, but also to drugs, alcohol, critical illness, cortisol insufficiency including hypopituitarism, insulinoma, bariatric or gastric surgery, pancreas transplantation or glucagon deficiency, or may be surreptitious. Some hypoglycemic episodes remain unexplained, and a proper drug history should be sought. Though various drugs have been implicated as a cause of hypoglycemia; herein, we report a case of recurrent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)-induced hypoglycemia in a nondiabetic patient.
