Description
Shivashankar Diggikar and co-authors update a pooled analysis of low blood sugar in newborns and later brain development. Low sugar in the first days of life is known to risk harm to the growing brain. The review spans outcomes from infancy into adulthood and looks at how low sugar must fall to matter.
Across seventeen studies, babies who had low blood sugar showed more developmental impairment in early and middle childhood. Thinking problems, visual-motor problems, and weak executive skills were also more common. No clear difference appeared for epilepsy, movement, behavior, or hearing. The authors judge the evidence low in quality and call for longer, stronger studies.
