What Causes Low Blood Sugar In A New Born Child?

My Great Neice was born on the 18th of Dec. whe she was born she had low blood sugar. They took her and put her in the NICU and started her with sugar water threw an IV. They had to transport her about 2 weeks ago to another Hospital that was better equipped to help with the probelm she was having with her sugar levels. I just found out this morning that they had to put a feeding tub in because she is not eating. She has becoming really restless and cranky. Mom and Dad are young onlu 18 and I know they are scared and not knowing what to expect. I am looking for some answers to what could be causing the probelm and why she is not getting better. If you could help it would be great. And yes she is still in the Hospital in the NICU..
