Abstract
Neonatal hypoglycemia is defined as blood glucose higher than 45 mg/l. Blood glucose levels
below this level are significantly associated with neurological damage. Normal newborn
babies do not need monitoring of blood glucose, which is mandatory for at risk babies, such
as low for gestational age and/or preterm babies and more generally those babies with
Birth-Weight below 2500 grams, smaller twins when there is foeto-foetal disproportion, babies
from diabetic mother, babies with erythroblastosis or polycythemia, babies with micropenis,
hypopituitarism, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, and babies who are subject to
stress whatsoever. All these cases must be monitored and undergo nutritional prevention, preferably
by continuous enteral nutrition. The infrequent cases of persistent or recurrent hypoglycemia
represent a separate chapter.
