Solution
The statement "Permanent or recurrent neonatal hypoglycemia is usually due to hyperinsulinism" is true. Neonatal hypoglycemia can occur due to various reasons, not just in infants of diabetic mothers. It is not necessarily seen most frequently in babies on respirators. It is not solely iatrogenic and does not only develop after maternal glucose infusion during delivery. Lastly, the diagnosis of neonatal hypoglycemia can vary, but it is generally considered when blood glucose is less than 2.6 mmol/L.
