Insulinoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
An insuloma, also called an insulinoma, is a rare tumor of the pancreas that produces insulin in excess, which can cause drops in blood sugar.
Common symptoms: Episodes of tremors, sweating, confusion, weakness, or intense hunger, which usually improve after eating.
Why it happens: It originates in the cells of the pancreas responsible for regulating sugar, which release insulin without control.
Which specialists evaluate it? The endocrinologist studies hormonal sugar disorders, and the oncologist takes part in the management of tumors. When there are repeated episodes of low blood sugar without a clear cause, the sensible thing is to see a professional for a thorough evaluation.
