The topic of hypoglycemia in neonates and children has generated significant debate of late, with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Pediatric Endocrine Society (PES) having advanced apparently conflicting guidelines. Here's what community pediatricians need to know to avoid o...
Definition Hypoglycemia in neonates is a relatively common, heterogenous and potentially serious problem. A consistent definition of hypoglycemia does not exist in the literature or in clinical practice. Epidemiology Hypoglycemia is a frequent concern in neonatology For the majority of healthy term infants...

Hypoglycemia is increasingly recognized as a significant risk for morbidity and mortality in critically ill and injured children, especially with the recent focus on “tight glucose control” in the pediatric intensive care unit. The lack of adequate ene
While hypoglycemia occurs commonly among neonates, treatment can be challenging if hypoglycemia persists beyond the first few days of life. This review discusses the available treatment options for both transient and persistent neonatal hypoglycemia. These treatment options include dextrose infusions, glucagon...
Nesidioblastosis is the name given to the presence of islets in intimate association with ducts, formation of so-called ductulo-insular complexes[1011]. In adults, an insulinoma accounts for most cases of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia[412]. Nesidioblastosis has mainly been described in neonates[3...
43, No. 3 (2005) screening high-risk neonates for hypoglycemia, this common problem could be prolonged; prudent practice could minimize the complications. In this study not all hypoglycemic cases at the time of second sampling were hypoglycemic at the time of third sampling. If we accept that...
support a clear definition for hypoglycemia in neonates or a universal plasma glucose concen- tration range.5 Neither the duration of hypo- glycemia nor a specific serum glucose level has been shown to be predictive of permanent cen- tral nervous system damage in at-risk infants.6-9 However, ...
Background The Pediatric Endocrine Society (PES) recently published guidelines for evaluation and management of hypoglycemia in neonates, infants and children. 1 One of the main goals was to provide recommendations for recognizing neonates requiring diagnosis and treatment during the first days of life ...
