Many controversies exist about the management of neonatal conditions frequent in the infant of diabetic mother such as asymptomatic neonatal hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, or polycythemia. In this article, we review the pathophysiology and management of major neonatal complications of diabetes in pregnancy, taking into consideration the major current controversies. *Corresponding author: Francis B...

This discussion offers guidelines for the management of sick neonatal foals during initial evaluation on the farm and prior to referral to a secondary care facility. Essential history regarding the pregnancy and delivery, placental examination, highlights of neonatal examination, and selected laboratory tests are discussed with regard to early diagnosis of the foal’s primary problem(s). The mos...

Neonatal hypoglycemia is common and can cause serious brain injury. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) could improve hypoglycemia detection, while reducing blood glucose (BG) measurements. Calibration algorithms use BG measurements to convert sensor signals into CGM data. Thus, inaccuracies in calibration BG measurements directly affect CGM values and any metrics calculated from them. The aim ...

OBJECTIVE An association between maternal hypoglycemia during pregnancy with fetal growth restriction and overall perinatal mortality has been reported. In a retrospective pilot study we found that hypoglycemia was linked with a greater number of special care/neonatal intensive care unit admissions and approached significance in the number of women who developed preeclampsia. That study was lim...
