Brief Summary: Glucose is the key metabolic substrate for tissue energy production. In the perinatal period, the mother supplies glucose to the fetus, and for most of the gestational period, the normal lower limit of fetal glucose concentration is around 54 mg/dl (3 mmol/L)(1). During the first 24-48 hours of life, as normal neonates transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life, their plasma glucose (PG) concentrations are typically lower than later in life (2). Distinguishing between transi...
