title: Glucose metabolism in the neonate: the short and sweet of it.
abstract: Many patients the neonatal nurse cares for daily have the potential for abnormal blood glucose levels. Recognizing infants at risk can facilitate timely and appropriate interventions. The quality of the information received from tests and observation depends on decisions made by the nurse. Therefore, knowledge of glucose kinetics and monitoring techniques is essential.
