AB  - Serum  glucose  levels  (GLU)  in  the  fetus  are  dependent  on  transplacental  transfer  of  glucose  from  the  mother  and  generally  reflect  maternal  levels.  Elevated  maternal  GLU  can  cause  fetal  hyperglycemia  and  increased  insulin  production  by  the  fetal  pancreas,  resulting  in  fetal  macrosomia.  After  separation  from  the  placenta,  newborn  infants  have  to  maintain  their  own  GLU  without  maternal  assistance.  Thus,  although  usually  euglycemic,  the  newborn  could  be  either  hyperglycemic  or  hypoglycemic  depending  on  the  maternal  serum  glucose  and  the  infant’s  ability  for  endocrine  autoregulation.
