Very Immature Infants (≤ 30 Wk) Respond to Glucose Infusion with Incomplete Suppression of Glucose Production
ABSTRACT: Small substrate stores and immature enzyme systems make preterm infants prone to develop hypoglycemia. Hy-perglycemia may also occur, particularly when these infants are given i.v. glucose. To evalua...
