High Blood Sugar in Infants
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When a baby has high levels of glucose in the blood, we are talking about an imbalance in blood sugar that the newborn's or infant's body cannot regulate properly.
Why keep an eye on it: In the first months of life, variations in blood glucose can affect the baby's well-being, so they require careful attention and follow-up.
Signs that may accompany it: Sometimes irritability, changes in feeding, drowsiness, or skin changes are seen and prompt the visit.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician is the central professional for evaluating the baby's overall condition, and the dermatologist can help when skin manifestations appear. If you notice signs that worry you in your child, the advisable thing is to seek an evaluation.
