I have searched and cannot find the AAP policy for hypoglycemia online. Would someone who already has it, please send it to my email address?

For those of you who work with newborns in a hospital, when a low blood sugar is determined via heelstick and D-stick or chemstrip (or whatever machine used), do you verify it via lab with a heelstick sample or venous stick sample?
