| Summary: | Disturbances of glucose homeostasis that result in hypoglycaemia is a common metabolic issue encountered in newborn. Most of the times, awareness of various risk factors that predispose infants to hypoglycaemia allows for screening of those at risk newborns so that clinically undetectable hypoglycaemia can be treated promptly, thus preventing the development of severe or symptomatic hypoglycaemia, which is associated with adverse outcomes, but in certain conditions like the persistent, recurrent or severe hypoglycaemia may cause irreversible injury to the developing brain. Here we are reporting outcome of seven neonates who presented to us with varied symptoms of persistent hypoglycaemia. |
