. (1971). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 46, 819. Assessment of effects of neonatal hypoglycaemia. 41 infants who had experienced neonatal hypoglycaemia (blood glucose less than 20 mg/100 ml) were reviewed at a mean age of 51 months and compared to a group of matched controls. Symptomatic and asymptomatic infants were represented in the hypoglycaemic group in a similar ratio to that found during a previous study of the incidence of hypoglycaemia in a special care unit.Evidence of cerebral damage was found in 6 of the children who had been hypoglycaemic (14 6%) and in 5 of the controls (12 2%). This difference is not significant. The mean IQ and locomotor scores of the two groups were identical, and there was no difference in the incidence of behaviour disorders or convulsions.It is concluded that, while it is important to identify and treat cases of 'true' symptomatic hypoglycaemia, the large majority of infants tolerate low blood glucose levels without sequelae. The prognosis for infants with asymptomatic hypoglycaemia is particularly good, none of the 12 infants in this series showing any evidence of cerebral damage.

Background: Aim: To evaluate the usefulness of regular monitoring of blood glucose in early diagnosis of hypoglycemia in breastfed late preterm neonate. Methods: A total of 100 consecutively born breastfed late preterm neonates were studied and assessed for development of hypoglycemia against age of onset, symptomatology, gestational age and sex of the baby, parity and age of mother, and mode of delivery. Serial blood glucose was done at 0, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours of life to identify hypoglycemia. Blood glucose was estimated from heel prick capillary samples using glucometer. Association of both maternal and neonatal risk factors was studied in relation to hypoglycemia. Results: The overall incidence of hypoglycemia was 15%. Out of 15 hypoglycemic babies 12(80%) developed symptoms and only 3(20%) were asymptomatic. Most (90%) of the hypoglycemia occurred on the first day of life. Babies born to primi mothers were more prone for hypoglycemia (25%). Highest incidence was seen in babies weighing less than 2 kg (50%). Symptoms of hypoglycemia included poor feeding (66%), lethargy (58%), jitteriness (41%), and weak cry (25%). Conclusion: There is a significant incidence of hypoglycemia in late preterm babies in spite of being on breast feeds. Babies born to primiparous mothers are more prone for hypoglycemia. Also hypoglycemia was very high in babies having birth weight below 2 kg. Therefore it is very important to regularly monitor the blood glucose levels in all late preterm babies even if they are on exclusive breast feeding.

“…More recently, with the introduction of reliable methods for true glucose estimation (Acharya and Payne, 1965) evidence has accumulated that neonatal hypoglycaemia is not always a benign condition and that when it is profound and prolonged enough to produce clinical manifestations it is often followed by death or brain damage (Stevens, 1965;Anderson et al, 1966;Chance and Bower, 1966;Comblath et al, 1959;Haworth and McRae, 1965;Brown and Wallis, 1963;Raivio and Hallman, 1968). Moreover the custom of withholding feeds from low birth-weight babies seems to have increased the morbidity from C.N.S.…”
