What is the normal blood sugar level for a newborn?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Infants with shorter gestational age are more prone to hypoglycemia, as their liver glycogen is primarily stored during the last three months of pregnancy. If the mother has diabetes, the newborn is also at higher risk of hypoglycemia. It is best to take the child to the hospital for examination. Prolonged hypoglycemia can affect the child's intellectual development.
Advice: Hello, all medicines have side effects, and they can harm the liver and kidneys. Moreover, some medications contain hormones that may stimulate early puberty in young children!
Personal suggestion: Identify the factors or causes of your baby's hypoglycemia. If it can be regulated through diet, try to do so. If it's not possible, consider medication as a last resort!
