Case series identifies recurrent hypoglycemia in preterm infants, indicating potential for treatment with diazoxide.
Great emphasis is placed upon addressing hyperinsulinism in at‐risk infants with recurrent hypoglycemia. We report two preterm infants with recurrent nonhyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia due to transient impairment of glucose mobilization, warranting diazoxide use. Inadequate response to glucagon stimulation test indicates hepatic enzyme immaturity especially with negative genetic testing for glycogen storage disorders.
