Impact of macronutrients intake on glycemic homeostasis of preterm infants: evidence from continuous glucose monitoring

Conclusions: Macronutrient intakes influence neonatal glucose profile as described by continuous glucose monitoring. CGM might contribute to adjust nutritional intakes in preterm infants.What is Known:• Parenteral nutrition may affect glucose profile during the first days of life of preterm infants.What is New:• Continuous glucose monitoring describes the relationship between daily parenteral nutrient intakes and time spent in hypo and hyperglycemic ranges.
