 h English (en)==== Insulinomas ====
A primary B-cell [[Neoplasm|tumor]], such as an [[insulinoma]], is associated with hypoglycemia. This is a tumor located in the [[pancreas]]. An insulinoma produces [[insulin]], which in turn decreases glucose levels, causing hypoglycemia. Normal regulatory mechanisms are not in place, which prevent insulin levels from falling during states of low blood glucose. During an episode of hypoglycemia, plasma [[insulin]], [[C-peptide]], and [[proinsulin]] will be inappropriately high.
