BACKGROUND: Accurate identification and treatment of hypoglycemia or low blood glucose is important for neonates, especially premature, small for gestational age, and intra-uterine growth restricted (“small and sick”) newborns. Existing point-of-care (POC) adult glucometers, intended for home management of adults or children with diabetes, are widely available and less costly than machines designed and validated for neonates, but they must be validated at the lower glucose levels relevant for ne ...[more]
