The infant is generally well- appearing, although he exhibits mild hypotonia. The laboratory results are: Sodium, 135 mEq/L Potassium, 4 mEq/L Chloride, 105 mEq/L Carbon dioxide, 18 mEq/L Calcium (total), 6.5 mg/dL Phosphorus, 5.5 mg/dL Magnesium, 1.6 mg/dL Serum glucose, 30 mg/dL

What is causing this infant’s abnormalities? Diabetic Mother What are some other findings you would look for in an IDM?
