[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1534219, member: 32394"] Neonatal hypoglycaemia is serious and can result in severe brain damage and death. Type 1 mums are more at risk of having babies prone to neonatal hypoglycaemia. A blood sugar reading of 1 isn't a mild hypo in a neonate, or an adult. It's severe hypoglycaemia that does require urgent treatment, if a feed doesn't raise blood sugar then separation will be required for treatment with IV glucose to avoid risks of brain damage and death materialising. Many obgyn will do a debrief after a traumatic birth to explain what happened. Have you asked your consultant or midwife for this? [/QUOTE]
