		Hypoglycemia may be a condition by itself, or may be a complication of diabetes or another disorder.
		Hypoglycemia in the newborn can be caused by conditions that: lower the amount of glucose in the bloodstream, prevent or lessen storage of glucose, use up glycogen stores (sugar stored in the liver), inhibit the use of glucose by the body.

		By far the commonest disorder of this kind in children is ketotic hypoglycemia, which occurs in young children when the carbohydrate intake is reduced, often as a result of diminished appetite in a minor illness, to the point that fat stores are needed for energy and ketones are produced.
		Reactive hypoglycemia is different from spontaneous hypoglycemia, which is not associated with meal ingestion.
		Identification of the possible cause of hypoglycemia and selection of diagnostic modalities are facilitated by considering whether the patient appears to be healthy (with or without compensated coexistent disease) or ill (with a disease known to have a proclivity to develop hypoglycemia, or is hospitalized).
