AB Hypoglycemia  in  children  may  be  due  to  inadequate  oral  intake,  excess  insulin,  low  levels  of  hyperglycemic  hormones  (e.g.,  cortisol  or  growth  hormone),  inborn  errors  of  metabolism,  or  systemic  infection.  Prompt  recognition  and  treatment  of  hypoglycemia  are  essential  to  avoid  potentially  severe  and  permanent  neurologic  injury,  and  bedside  glucose  testing  should  be  considered  in  any  neonate,  infant,  or  child  with  altered  mental  status.
