Improving blood glucose in late preterm and small for gestational age infants: the use of dextrose 40% gel
Early administration of 40% dextrose gel may be beneficial in maintaining higher blood glucose levels during the first hours of life in LP and SGA infants; our findings suggest that only in LP and SGA patients early intervention with dextrose gel could support glucose homeostasis and potentially improve breastfeeding outcomes.
