I, too, would like information on treatment of neonatal hypoglycemia, and
what parameters are being used to recommend actions.  I was recently at a
conference where a physician lecturer recommended treatment with D10 in a
bottle.  We haven't done that for ages, am getting confused.  Thanks!

Any information or suggestions would be appreciated.  I would especially
like to know how other institutions are handling this problem, and what
their policy states.  Are you using care maps or alga-rythums (sp?), and do
the staff think they are helpful?  Additional information would be helpful,
ie:  size of institution, number of deliveries per year, parameters of
determining the diagnosis of hypoglycemia (blood sugar of 30-40, or above
40, etc.), and admission protocol of blood sugar testing for high risk
infants.

This information can be sent to my private E-mail ([log in to unmask]) or
posted, where it might help other people with similar problems.

Thank you again for your help--reading Lactnet is what keeps me going!
