Relationship between serum insulin and point-of-admission blood glucose of ill neonates at a tertiary health facility in Nigeria

摘要

Optimal glucose metabolism is important in neonatal survival especially in the first days of life. Insulin play a significant role in maintaining blood glucose homeostasis. This study set out to determine the serum insulin levels of ill neonates as related to their point-of-admission blood glucose estimation at the Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa, Nigeria.
