The newborn of the diabetic mother, irrespective of diabetes type, will require blood glucose monitoring. The newborn examiner must review the blood glucose results prior to conducting the examination. Local policy will dictate the monitoring intervals for such newborns. Suboptimal results will require more active management of hypoglycaemia that may necessitate admission to the neonatal unit (BAPM 2017). The BAPM guidance for the identification and management of neonatal hypoglycaemia can be found at https://www.bapm.org/resources/40‐identification‐and‐management‐of‐neonatal‐hypoglycaemia‐in‐the‐full‐term‐infant‐2017.
