Neonatal Hypoglycemia for Nursing: The Infant of a Diabetic Mother, Signs and the Heel Stick

What is neonatal hypoglycemia? Once the cord is cut, a newborn can no longer count on the placenta for glucose. That puts every baby at some risk for low blood sugar, most of all in the first hours of life. In this nursing video: The Infant of a Diabetic Mother, Who Is at Risk, Signs, The Heel Stick, Treating Low Blood Sugar, and Preventing Low Blood Sugar.
