Abstract
Neonatal hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia (NHH) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by dysregulated insulin secretion leading to persistent hypoglycaemia. We present a detailed case report of a 34-weeks male neonate with low birth weight (LBW) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) who exhibited recurrent asymptomatic hypoglycaemia despite conventional treatment measures. Through a systematic diagnostic approach and targeted therapy, we successfully managed the patient's condition, ultimately achieving normoglycemia and favourable clinical outcomes.
