OBJECTIVE: To determine the feasibility of continuous glucose monitoring in the very low birthweight baby requiring intensive care, as these infants are known to be at high risk of abnormalities of glucose control. METHOD: Sixteen babies were studied from within 24 hours of delivery and for up to seven days. RESULTS: The subcutaneous glucose sensors were well tolerated and readings were comparable to those on near patient whole blood monitoring devices. CONCLUSION: Continuous glucose monitoring is practical in neonates, giving detailed information about glucose control.
