What Are the Common Carbohydrate Disorders in Neonates?
One of the most common carbohydrate disorders in neonates is _hypoglycemia_, which is an abnormally low level of glucose in the blood. It can occur due to various reasons such as prematurity, maternal diabetes, and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Another condition is _galactosemia_, a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to process and convert galactose into glucose.
