Study Summary

The investigators are studying the accuracy of Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitors placed on babies with hyperinsulinism in the Miller Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The participants will wear the device for 10 days on their lateral thigh. Whenever blood sugars are checked by glucometer, the investigators will also record the continuous glucose monitor sugar. Additionally, if the continuous glucose monitor alarms for a low sugar or an impending low sugar, the investigators will check the blood sugar by glucometer and, if verified to be low, treat the low blood sugar accordingly.
