published an interesting study about the effect of delivery on blood sugar levels. The C/s infants though had lower sugar comparatively at birth, had their blood sugars increased in two hours.
Cord blood glucose concentration was higher in VD (81.3 ± 16.9 mg/dL) than CS infants (70.3 ± 9.7 mg/dL, p = 0.039). The change in blood glucose concentration over the first 2-h of life differed significantly between the two groups, being an increase in CS versus a decrease in VD infants (−3.5 ± 15.2 vs. −15.4 ± 24.6 mg/dL, p = 0.013).
