| | Hypoglycemia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | When hypoglycemia occurs repeatedly, a record or "diary" of the spells over several months, noting the circumstances of each spell (time of day, relation to last meal, nature of last meal, response to carbohydrate, and so forth) may be useful in recognizing the nature and cause of the hypoglycemia. |  | | Hypoglycemia is a common problem in critically ill or extremely low birthweight infants. |  | | This condition therefore overlaps with the definition and forms of hypoglycemia described in the remainder of this article but is not entirely congruent. |
