Summary
Consensus report from Turkish neonatal and paediatric endocrinology societies on defining, diagnosing and treating neonatal hyperglycaemia, particularly in very low birth weight preterm infants. It outlines mechanisms including iatrogenic causes, impaired suppression of hepatic glucose production and insulin resistance. It addresses target plasma glucose ranges, diagnostic thresholds, reduction of glucose infusion rate and criteria for insulin therapy. Early parenteral and enteral feeding is discussed as a means of improving insulin production and sensitivity.
