Birth asphyxia and large-for-date (macrosomic) infants are well-recognised risk groups for neonatal hypoglycaemia, so routine blood-glucose checks are advised. Current guidelines list prematurity, SGA/LGA, infants of diabetic mothers and perinatal asphyxia, but do not include Rh disease or maternal hypothyroidism as indications; nevertheless Rh incompatibility has been linked to hyperinsulinism-related hypoglycaemia in several reports, so glucose monitoring is still prudent in these babies. Maternal hypothyroidism alone is not associated with neonatal hypoglycaemia, making it the least relevant situation for routine blood-sugar estimation.
