title: Carbohydrate metabolism in the fetus and neonate and altered neonatal glucoregulation.
abstract: Altered glucose homeostasis in the neonate often results from antecedent events during fetal life. This article describes the normal and altered development of glucoregulatory capabilities during perinatal life and relates it to problems of hypo- and hyperglycemia in the neonate.
