I have only started reading it. I think it will be a little
conservative in its approach, but does emphasize that it is *not*
necessary to screen *all* babies for hypoglycemia. Also significant
in what I have read so far is that there is no agreed upon definition
of hypoglycemia, and that there is no study that has shown that
*asymptomatic* hypoglycemia has any short or long term effects on the
baby.
