Merge proposal

[edit]

I propose merging Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia and Congenital hyperinsulinism into this article. Please discuss the issue here. DiptanshuTalk 20:09, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rationale behind merging: Hypoglycemia in neonates, known as neonatal hypoglycemia is a common finding. It can be caused due to hyperinsulinemia or increased consumption of sugars. The hyperinsulinemia can be caused transiently in macrosomic babies like Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome or babies born to diabetic mothers or babies with nesidioblastosis (which is another term for hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia caused due to excessive function of pancreatic beta cells. The term congenital hyperinsulinism does not cover all causes of neonatal hypoglycemia, neither is it specific about the cause as not all hypoglycemia in neonates may be caused due to hyperinsulinemia (increased consumption of sugars in sepsis being a leading cause). As a matter of fact, neonatal hypoglycemia may even occur shortly after birth. Hence I propose dropping the term congenital hyperinsulinism and merging its contents into this article. Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia is a generic term that can apply to both infants and adults. Since multiple articles on topics pertaining to neonates is already present, that article either needs to be rewritten with adult perspective, else that article may be dropped from Wikipedia and the contents be merged into this article. I feel that nesidioblastosis article should be retained and improved upon. DiptanshuTalk 03:35, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Editing this page

[edit]

Hello, I edited this article for a class of mine. I added the portion titled Effects of Neonatal Hypoglycemia. If you have any suggestions, please respond to this thread.

I was reviewing the article and noticed the portion regarding the differences in diagnosis between the US and UK. I was wondering if this portion is needed. Does anyone have any thoughts on that? Olrogers (talk) 17:31, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
