Question:
My grandson was found to have an insulin imbalance at birth and was
immediately put on a glucose solution drip. Is this an early sign of
diabetes or will his levels eventually balance with no further therapy?
Answer:
It sounds as though your grandson had a problem with low blood sugars and
not high ones. This is a common problem in the newborn, especially if they
are somewhat premature and is not a premonition of later diabetes.
