John PY - 2017 T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine Manual, 8e 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.
