Existing literature on CHI highlights the importance of early recognition and maintenance of blood glucose levels, due to the risk of neurological damage posed by uncorrected hypoglycemia. The cases presented highlight the treatment of 2 brothers who developed neonatal hypoglycemia due to diffuse CHI resulting from homozygous
