Neonatal hypoglycemia

The characteristics of neonatal glucose metabolism are prone to hypoglycemia, which mostly occur in premature infants, term infants, diabetic mothers and infants and neonatal hypoxia, asphyxia, scleredema, infection and sepsis. Neonatal hypoglycemia means that the blood glucose level is lower than the minimum blood glucose level of normal babies of the same age. Hypoglycemia is likely to cause brain damage, cause hypoglycemic encephalopathy, and cause irreversible central nervous system damage. Therefore, we must actively prevent and control it.
