Glucagon â Glucagon is a hormone involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Produced by the pancreas, it is released when the glucose level in the blood is low (hypoglycemia), causing the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose and release it into the bloodstream. Gonads â A gonad is an organ that makes gametes (sperm and egg cells).
Excess insulin is released in response to a meal because of binding to antibodies. Later, as the bound insulin is released, it causes hypoglycemia. We describe a patient who presented with a hypoglycemic seizure and who had many of the features of the autoimmune insulin syndrome. On investigation, however, it became clear that the patient had multiple myeloma and that the hypoglycemia was due to a monoclonal insulin-binding antibody produced by the tumor.
