insulin autoimmune syndrome
Insulin autoimmune syndrome is a rare medical condition characterized by the body's own immune system mistakenly attacking and destroying insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. This leads to a sudden and excessive release of insulin in the bloodstream, causing low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) and resulting in symptoms like weakness, dizziness, and sweating.
