Hypoglycemia

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

Hypothyroidism

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

Thanks for sharing these suggestions. I have a few notes: Good work so far! JenOttawa (talk) 16:53, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * 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.
