The Neonatal Red-Cell Compartment as an Overlooked Glucose Sink: A Dual-Axis Hypothesis Linking Developmental Erythrocyte Biology to Neonatal Hypoglycaemia

2026-07-15

Abstract excerpt

Neonatal hypoglycaemia is among the most common metabolic disturbances of the newborn period, yet its pathophysiology is still framed almost entirely around hepatic glucose production, hyperinsulinism, and limited substrate reserves. A parallel literature—classical observations that neonatal polycythaemia and infants of diabetic mothers carry an elevated hypoglycaemia risk—has long been attributed vaguely to "incr...
