Persistent level 1 hypoglycemia due to hypothyroidism and underlying Neurofibromatosis type 1

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Hypoglycemia in non‐diabetic patients is rare and may be due to various etiologies. It is important to recognize hypoglycemia early and appropriately manage hypoglycemia in patients with neurofibromatosis 1 and hypothyroidism. Abstract Non‐diabetic hypoglycemia is not common and can be seen in certain conditions like Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). We report a rare case of 66‐year‐old man with hypothyroidism and NF1 who developed a persistent level 1 hypoglycemia.
