AB  - The  nurse  reports  an  infant  has  a  blood  glucose  level  of  240  mg/dL.  The  incidence  of  hyperglycemia  is  higher  in  preterm  than  term  infants  (60–80%  in  extremely  low  birthweight  [ELBW]  infants).  The  definition  and  treatment  of  hyperglycemia  is  controversial.  Following  are  some  of  the  definitions  used:  Whole  blood  glucose  >120–125  mg/dL  or  a  plasma  glucose  >145–150  mg/dL  regardless  of  gestational  or  postnatal  age  or  weightWhole  blood  glucose  >125  mg/dL  in  term  and  >150  mg/dL  in  pretermWhole  blood  glucose  >215  mg/dL  (operational  definition  per  Edmund  Hey)
