I don't really know. I do know it's more likely to happen at certain times of my cycle, so I suppose there are hormonal influences. But other than that, I only know that there's a feedback loop between the liver releasing glucagon and the pancreas releasing insulin based on what's going on in the blood at any moment. I assume that something goes wrong there, but I don't know more.
Sorry.
