Explanation
Hypoglycemia is the most common metabolic problem in neonates. This occurs when the blood sugar levels in newborns are abnormally low. It can be caused by various factors such as inadequate feeding, excessive insulin production, or certain medical conditions. Hypoglycemia can lead to symptoms like lethargy, poor feeding, and seizures if left untreated. Therefore, it is important to monitor and maintain appropriate blood sugar levels in neonates to prevent any potential complications.
