No found between but a difference neurologic seen. However, only two 30 infants who had repeated examinations least 4 old time last could abnormality be attributed solely hypoglycemia which been adequately treated. These occasional nonfebrile seizures. In third infant moderate traced unrecognized inadequately symptomatic hypoglycemia, fourth microcephaly one spastic quadriplegia associated with cerebral hemorrhage hypoglycemia.
