Neonatal hypoglycemia is a common health problem, observed in the neonatal period that affects the later stages of life. Hypoglycemia can lead to acute and chronic complications, leading to permanent and irreversible neurological problems in the growth and development of the newborn. Although the most sensitive test to detect hypoglycemia is still measurement with plasma glucose, noninvasive glucose measurement methods have been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of hypoglycemia in risky babies with the advances of these technological measurement methods in recent years, along with the traditional glucose measurement methods used for years. While glucometers, blood gas analyzers, enzymatic measurement in the laboratory are traditional measurement methods, continuous glucose measurement systems are a technique that has started to take place in the new generation glucose measurement. While taking protective precautions to prevent the development of hypoglycemia, early breastfeeding support should be provided and encouraged. Which conditions pose a risk for hypoglycemia, at which glucose threshold value should be given treatment, and the effects of the new generation glucose measurement methods and current treatments are discussed in this review. In addition to blood glucose measurements and observation of clinical signs in risky babies, differential diagnosis and management of treatment in hypoglycemia also play an important role in prognosis.
