There are several ways to classify hypoglycemia. The following is a list of the more common causes and factors which may contribute to hypoglycemia grouped by age, followed by some causes that are relatively age-independent.
* Severe [[hepatic]] dysfunction
 
** Leads to impairment of both [[glycogenolysis]] and [[gluconeogenesis]].
=== Hypoglycemia in newborn infants ===
*[[Congenital hyperinsulinism]]:<ref name="pmid23739646">{{cite journal| author=Buraczewska B, Kopacz K, Myśliwiec M| title=Hyperinsulinism as a common cause of hypoglycemia in children - pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment. | journal=Pediatr Endocrinol Diabetes Metab | year= 2013 | volume= 19 | issue= 1 | pages= 24-8 | pmid=23739646 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=23739646  }}</ref>
Hypoglycemia is a common problem in critically ill or extremely [[low birthweight infants]]. If not due to maternal hyperglycemia, in most cases it is multifactorial, transient and easily supported. In a minority of cases hypoglycemia turns out to be due to significant [[hyperinsulinism]], [[hypopituitarism]] or an [[inborn error of metabolism]] and presents more of a management challenge.
**[[Infant of diabetic mother (patient information)|Infant of a diabetic mothe]]<nowiki/>r is most commonly affected by hypoglycemia due to [[hyperinsulinism]]. Prolonged intrapartum [[hyperglycemia]] in [[fetus]] leads to [[Hypertrophy (medical)|hypertrophied]] and hyperfunctioning [[beta cells]] causing [[hyperinsulinism]]. It is transient and resolves two days after birth.

By far the most common cause of severe hypoglycemia in this age range is insulin injected for [[type I diabetes|type 1 diabetes]]. Circumstances should provide clues fairly quickly for the new diseases causing severe hypoglycemia. All of the congenital metabolic defects, congenital forms of [[hyperinsulinism]], and [[congenital hypopituitarism]] are likely to have already been diagnosed or are unlikely to start causing new hypoglycemia at this age. [[Body mass]] is large enough to make starvation hypoglycemia and idiopathic [[ketotic hypoglycemia]] quite uncommon. Recurrent mild hypoglycemia may fit a [[reactive hypoglycemia]] pattern, but this is also the peak age for [[idiopathic postprandial syndrome]], and recurrent "spells" in this age group can be traced to [[orthostatic hypotension]] or [[hyperventilation]] as often as demonstrable hypoglycemia.

Overview

Causes of hypoglycemia depend on age; neonatal causes are transient neonatal hypoglycemia, Prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation, perinatal asphyxia, sepsis, congenital hypopituitarism, beta sympathomimetic drugs, congenital hyperinsulinism, infant of a diabetic mother, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and inborn errors of carbohydrate metabolism. Causes of adult hypoglycemia are: insulin or insulin secretagogue drugs, alcohol, hepatic failure, renal failure, cardiac failure, sepsis, non-islet cell pancreatic tumors, insulinoma, reactive hypoglycemia, post gastric bypass hypoglycemia, and autoimmunee hypoglycemia.
