Is hypoglycemia hereditary?

Perhaps: There are several different causes of hypoglycemia. Some causes are medical or drug induced and would not be hereditary. One form called reactive hypoglycemia is related to abnormal glucose metabolism and probably has some hereditary influences.

Rarely: Rarely hereditary. Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia which can produce hypoglycemia is often hereditary.
