Infants normally run lower sugar counts than adults and the number counts were even lower due to the illness and dehydration. But that should be the least of your concern at the moment. If your child is still not taking much liquid by mouth than he should be on I.V. fluids. Please, take our advise seriously. An infant who does not wet a diaper in an eight-hour period is dehydrated. The soft spot on the baby's head (fontanel) may be depressed. Symptoms of dehydration at any age include cracked lips, dry or sticky mouth, lethargy, and sunken eyes. A person who is dehydrated cries without shedding tears and does not urinate very often. The skin is less elastic than it should be and is slow to return to its normal position after being pinched.
Dehydration can cause confusion, constipation, discomfort, drowsiness, fever, and thirst. The skin turns pale and cold, the mucous membranes lining the mouth and nose lose their natural moisture. The pulse sometimes races and breathing becomes rapid. Significant fluid loss can cause serious neurological problems and even death.

I am assuming that the Doctor told you what to do, right? Baby was dehydrated because of vomiting and diarrhea. Does not need a fever to cause dehydration. Blood sugar was low because of lack of intake of foods/calories. Hope Baby is better. If not, go back to Doctor or to the nearest ER. Good luck!

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

because if your baby has not been eating the body can not absorb the glucose it needs and that is why the blood sugar would be low. the best thing would be to take your baby to the dr or to the er and get iv fluids in the child. good luck and hope this helps.
