Hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemia, most commonly caused by insulin use or oral medications, is often associated with hypothermia^[1]. This occurs because of neuroglycopenic effects on hypothalamic function^[1]. Neuroglycopenia occurs when the brain has a shortage of glucose, and this can affect how the hypothalamus is functioning^[1]. As hypothalamic function becomes dysfunctional body temperature regulation can become altered leading to hypothermia^[1].

Hypothyroidism

Severe hypothyroidism can be attributed to hypothermia^[1]. Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid is underactive^[1]. When it is severe it can reduce the metabolic rate ^[1]and impair thermogenesis, leading to hypothermia^[1].

Comments[edit]

Thanks for sharing these suggestions. I have a few notes:

Can you please add the page #s where you found this evidence to the text book citation?
Citations go immediately after the punctuation, no space, like this.¹
Can you wikilink any terms? Insulin/neuroglycopenia/hypothalmus/hypothyroidism. You only need to wikilink the first time that the term is used in the text of the WP article.

Good work so far! JenOttawa (talk) 16:53, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
