The blood glucose of the children remains low.
- Hypoglycemia is the medical term for low blood glucose levels. Transient hypoglycemia in the first few hours after birth is typical, seen in almost all mammalian neonates.
- Clinically severe neonatal hypoglycemia implies an imbalance between the availability and use of glucose and other fuels. glucose levels spontaneously rise within the first 24 hours of birth (for some, it may take longer, but it is still physiological) in healthy, term human infants, even if early enteral feeding is withheld.
- This phenomenon is self-limited, without clinical signs, and is thought to be part of adaptation to postnatal life.2-6 Most neonates make up for this "physiological" low blood glucose with endogenous fuel production through gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, and ketogenesis.
Due to low blood sugar of children, they are monitored frequently.
