What is the normal range for blood glucose management in a toddler as measured by D50?

The correct range for blood glucose management in a toddler is 60-120 mg/dL. This range is considered normal as it reflects the typical physiological levels of glucose that toddlers need to maintain healthy metabolism and energy levels.

In pediatric patients, particularly toddlers, it is critical to ensure that blood glucose levels remain within this range to avoid complications related to both hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Maintaining glucose levels within this specified range helps to support normal growth and cognitive function, as toddlers are undergoing rapid developmental changes.

In clinical settings, when using D50, which is a concentrated source of glucose, the goal is to restore blood glucose levels to this normal range, especially in situations where hypoglycemia is suspected or confirmed. This ensures that the toddler's metabolic needs are adequately met and helps to prevent further complications associated with unstable glucose levels.
