- Abstract
Hypoglycaemia is the most common metabolic derangement, with 5%-15% of all newborns and almost 50% of those considered at risk experiencing at least one episode of low blood glucose in the first few days of life.[1] Dextrose gel 40% has emerged as a safe, inexpensive and efficient method to prevent further episodes of hypoglycaemia. Oral dextrose gel reduces the need for intravenous dextrose therapy in neonatal hypoglycemia.
