Idiopathic is an adjective used primarily in medicine meaning arising spontaneously or from an obscure or unknown cause .

Idiopathic hypoglycemia is, literally, a medical condition in which the glucose level in the blood blood glucose is abnormally low due to an undeterminable cause. This is considered an incomplete and unsatisfactory medical diagnosis diagnosis by physicians and is rarely used by endocrinologist s, as it implies an unfinished diagnostic evaluation. In general, the more severe the hypoglycemia and the more clearly it is proven, the less likely it is to remain idiopathic . Idiopathic hypoglycemia can also be a synonym for reactive hypoglycemia or for hypoglycemia that is not diagnosed by a physician and does not fulfill the Whipple triad criteria. A more precise term for that condition is idiopathic postprandial syndrome .
