There are many types of<unk> , including transient and reoccurring. Each is associated with different risk factors and may have many underlying causes.<unk>  occurs because an infants brain is dependent on a healthy supply of glucose. During the last trimester of pregnancy, glucose is stored in the liver, heart, and skeletal muscles. All newborns experience a physiological and transient fall in blood glucose, reaching a nadir at 2–3 hours of age before slowly rising over the next 24 hours.
