Enlargement of beta cells of the pancreas that produce insulin (nesidioblastosis) may result in excessive insulin release, causing hypoglycemia. 1  Hormone deficiencies. 2  Certain disorders of the adrenal glands and the pituitary gland can result in a deficiency of key hormones that regulate glucose production.hen the level of glucose in your blood rises, it signals certain cells (beta cells) in your pancreas, located behind your stomach, to release insulin.
