Question
Could neonatal hypotension at birth be related to diabetes? How can one determine if a newborn has diabetes?
Answer
There is no direct causal relationship between neonatal hypotension and diabetes. Low blood pressure does not necessarily mean the newborn has diabetes. It is recommended to take the child to a pediatrician to check if the blood pressure is normal and to exclude the possibility of diabetes by testing fasting blood glucose and urine sugar. If there are any doubts, please continue to inquire.
