/Hi Pat

In Australia we use  different measurements. For example our babies need 
to have a BGL of > 2.6, in babies with birthweight of >4kg for three 
measures. If the nurse is concerned with a baby's feeding, output etc. 
she would consider a BGL reading to confirm there are no issues. But 
definitely NOT willy nilly!
