AB  - Hypoglycemia  is  the  most  common  biochemical  emergency  in  pediatric  patients.  Therefore,  the  ability  to  efficiently  evaluate  and  treat  of  this  condition  is  essential  for  the  general  pediatrician.  Four  broad  categories  of  problems  contribute  to  the  development  of  hypoglycemia:  loss  of  homeostatic  control,  inadequate  intake  of  food,  intoxication  with  a  substance  that  induces  low  blood  sugar,  and  inborn  errors  in  the  utilization,  production,  or  release  of  sugar.  When  all  systems  are  operating,  there  is  a  balance  of  supply  and  demand  to  maintain  normal  blood  sugar  (euglycemia)  over  a  broad  range  of  physiologic  settings.
