Patient's question:
I recently had my own baby, but my baby is a premature one. I heard from a friend that premature babies may have low blood sugar. Hello, is low blood sugar serious for premature babies?Doctor's answer:
Infants with hypoglycemia are given intravenous glucose to stabilize hypoglycemic symptoms, while closely monitoring the child's blood sugar fluctuations. Persistent hypoglycemia can be treated with hydrocortisone! If the child has congenital metabolic defects, a special diet should be provided! Children with hyperinsulinemia can be treated with diazoxide. Those with insulin resistance and fibrosis must undergo total pancreatectomy! Closely monitoring the child's blood sugar levels is crucial! It is recommended that you take your child to a regular hospital for treatment.
