...Aurelie Desenfants; Marion Soleirol; Randa Salet; Fernando Benito Castro; Caroline Le Guillou; Massimo Di Maio; Tu Anh Tran Neonatal hyperglycaemia is common in extremely low birth weight (ELBW, <1,000 g) infants, associated with a number of adverse clinical outcomes, and usually treated...

...Jennifer L. Dickson; J. Geoffrey Chase; Christopher G. Pretty; Cameron A. Gunn; Jane M. Alsweiler Background: Hyperglycaemia is a common complication of prematurity and is associated with neonatal mortality and morbidity, yet the aetiology is incompletely understood. C-peptide has been used...

... hyperglycaemia, and its treatment with insulin, on mortality and morbidity in preterm lambs. Methods: Preterm lambs (137 days’ gestation; term = 148 days) were randomised to a 12-day intravenous infusion of saline (PremC; n = 39), 50% dextrose (HYPER; n = 47), or 50% dextrose + insulin (INS; n = 21). Term...

.... Hyperglycaemia was detected in 22 (57.90%) patients and it lasted a mean of 20.33 ± 30.13 h, while 14 (36.8%) presented with hypoglycaemia for a mean of 2.45 ± 2.3 h. Conclusions: The CGMS gave a safe and useful estimate of glucose levels in VLBW infants, revealing abnormal glucose levels at a much higher rate...

...Sze May Ng; Judith E. May; Anthony J.B. Emmerson Background: The inability of the newborn to inhibit gluconeogenesis in response to a glucose infusion leading to insulin resistance has been postulated as an important cause of hyperglycaemia observed in premature infants. Aim: The aim of this study...
