Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Because of the hyperglycemic state of the mother and the proportional increase for the fetus, the newborn infant responds by secreting large amounts of insulin. Within 30-60 minutes after birth, the infant becomes hypoglycemic because of the effects of the fetal hyperinsulinism and the rapid utilization of glucose after birth.
