However, controversy remains surrounding its definition and management especially in asymptomatic patients.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Fundamental issue of great professional controversy is concerning the best manner to manage asymptomatic newborns NH. Both, overtreating NH and undertreating NH are poles with significant potential disadvantages.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Neonatalseizure s ‐ No seizures occurred in the dextrose gel or placebo group in the one study that reported this outcome (one study, 237 infants). Therefore, the odds ratio is not estimable.[doi.org]
“In approximate order of frequency there are jitteriness or tremors, apathy, episodes of cyanosis, convulsions, intermittent apneic spells or tachypnea, weak or high-pitched cry, limpness or lethargy, difficulty in feeding, and eye rolling.[cps.ca]

Although lengths may be normal in these infants, physical features such as micropenis or cleft lip and/or palate should suggest pituitary dysfunction as the etiology of their hypoglycemia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The definition of neonatal hypoglycemia has been based on the following approaches (or combination of approaches): clinical symptoms (see Table 1 ), epidemiologic approach based on a range of glucose values, acute changes in metabolic and endocrine response[aafp.org]
