Of course many people with hyperthyroid conditions also have weak adrenal glands too. Another potential reason why hypoglycemia is more common in people with hypothyroidism and Hashimotoâs Thyroiditis is because thyroid hormone impacts the liver, and a compromised liver can lead to the development of hypoglycemia.
How low blood sugar affects the thyroid. But just as high blood sugar can weaken thyroid function, chronically low blood sugar can also cause problems. Your body is genetically programmed to recognize low blood sugar as a threat to survival. Severe or prolonged hypoglycemia can cause seizures, coma, and death. When your blood sugar levels drop below normal, your adrenal glands respond by secreting a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol then tells the liver to produce more glucose, bringing blood sugar levels back to normal.
