Abstract
Neonatal Hypoglycaemia is an important and common problem which is readily diagnosed and should be actively sought and treated. Symptomatic hypoglycaemia is associated with poor prognosis and adverse developmental outcome. A moderate degree of persistent asymptomatic hypo glycaemia is associatedn with impaired motor and cognitive development. Therefore every effort should be directed towards identification of babies with asymptomatic low blood glucose levels and their prompt treatment. Every hospital with maternity and or neonatal unit must have clear guidelines to facilitate the screening and management of neonatal hypo glycaemia. This paper outlines the strategies for the management of neonatal hypoglycaemia.

Key words: neonatal, hypoglycaemia, hyperinsulinaemia
