Francine, You wrote: << I need to find anything on blood sugar levels for IDMs (Infants of Diabetic Moms) immediately post-partum.>> While I do at times search Medline by subject, I'll usually start my search for a reference by reading through my texts and checking the pertinent references in the bibliography. Then I look those references up on Medline either on PubMed or Internet Grateful Med. Grateful Med is great if you have an older reference and/or the author's last name and one initial. In this case, I looked in both the 5th edition of Lawrence and the 2nd edition of the BAB. I found this reference under the section on neonatal hypoglycemia in the BAB: Heck, L J and A Erenberg. Serum glucose levels in term neonates during the first 48 hours of life. J Pediatr 1987 110(1):119-22 Clicking on Related Articles in PubMed gave me this reference: Tanzer F et al. Blood glucose levels and hypoglycemia in full term neonates during the first 48 hours of life. J Trop Pediatr 1997 43(1):58-60 Even though the abstract of the Tanzer article mentions that infants of diabetic moms were excluded from this study, you may find a lead on a good reference for the serum glucose levels in infants of diabetic mothers in the full text article. Hope this helps a little!
