Overview

Clinicians still do not know how to diagnosis hypoglycemia.  The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Pediatric Endocrine Society (PES) cannot agree on the threshold for defining hypoglycemia. This educational activity will provide the learner with information on the causes of and the risk factors for hypoglycemia as well as strategies to prevent and treat hypoglycemia.


ACCME Objectives
  1. Discuss the physiology of glucose metabolism and identify the risk factors associated with neonatal hypoglycemia.
  2. Discuss the derivation of the definition of hypoglycemia.
  3. Discuss management strategies to reduce the problems associated with making a diagnosis of hypoglycemia and how best to prevent and treat hypoglycemia.

ANCC Learning Outcomes
