  Prevention of neonatal hyperglycaemia in very low birth weight infants: Systematic review [8] of trials of early insulin infusion for prevention of neonatal hyperglycaemia found that use of an insulin infusion reduced hyperglycaemia but increased death before 28 days and increased the risk of hypoglycaemia. The reduction in hyperglycaemia was not accompanied by significant effects on major morbidities; effects on neurodevelopment are awaited. The evidence does not support the routine use of insulin infusions to prevent hyperglycaemia in VLBW neonates. [8]. (LOE I GOR B)
