dextrose

There are many different names for sweets (up to 56!), but it turns out that not all sugars are bad for you. On the one hand, glucose can save your life.
This is the sugary spoon of glucose: what it is, how to use it, side effects, and why you should pay attention-especially if you have diabetes.
Glucose, dextrose, fructose, sucrose, lactose, maltose… Sugars may seem complicated, but sometimes they are simple—literally.
Glucose is called “simple sugar” and is made from corn (and sometimes other vegetables). Like other sugars, it is used in foods, most commonly baked goods.
Among the more than 50 sugar names, three are key: dextrose, glucose, and fructose. They are all simple sugars, but they have some important differences.
Standard sugar contains both fructose (about 50%) and glucose. But your body handles the two very differently.
Fructose-not so much. It is processed by your hard-working liver to convert it into glucose so that your body and brain can use it.
Glucose is chemically the same as glucose. In the words of a scientific geek: Glucose appears in two different molecular arrangements, called isomers, namely L-glucose and D-glucose. D-glucose = glucose.
Therefore, simple sugars can be quickly converted into energy for your body: very good. Eating too much (well, a dozen chocolate cakes): Not good.
Your body uses the energy it needs and stores the rest as fat. Therefore, excessive intake of red velvet cupcakes with glucose may be the reason why your Lululemon feels more comfortable than usual.
Too much simple sugar can also lead to a greater risk of more serious diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and even depression. Therefore, it is important to balance advantages and potential disadvantages.
Glucose is not just a staple in the aisles of the local market bakery. It can also be found in hospitals and used to treat a variety of diseases, including:
Since it is a “simple” candy, the body can quickly use it for energy-a bit like a child using their Halloween collection and then spinning like a Tasmanian devil for 24 hours.
Although we have a bad reputation for “sugar rush”, sometimes your body needs to quickly replenish energy-and glucose is the answer.
An appropriate dose, usually administered by intravenous injection, can quickly solve the body’s needs (when medically needed), especially for people who cannot absorb carbohydrates, amino acids and fats.
If you have diabetes and you eat less meals or exercise more than usual, your blood sugar levels may drop. In minor cases, you can follow the normal action plan.
But a more significant drop in blood sugar is dangerous and may put you in the hospital. Input: glucose.
Patients with hyperkalemia can also inject 50% glucose and then insulin, which can happen when your body’s potassium levels soar.
Once again, in the words of a scientific geek, this is what happens: when glucose is injected, it will feed your body’s cells with glucose. But it also provides a certain dose of potassium (a bit like a BOGO product), which can help lower your blood potassium levels. With just one tap, your condition will be improved without hypoglycemia.
In the treatment of hypoglycemia or hypoglycemia, glucose is the most important compared with sugar-containing congeners such as glucagon.
The study compared intravenous glucagon and glucose with insulin-treated diabetic patients and found that people who were given glucose woke up faster and regained control of their bodies than those who received glucagon. great! #TeamDextrose
You may be wondering if it is necessary to continue to the hospital for glucose injections. No, you don’t need it. *Except for emergencies*.
People who are aware that they have diabetes or hypoglycemia may keep some glucose gels or tablets (inexpensive and easily available) when they need it, especially if they find that their blood sugar is below 70 mg/dL.
In the treatment of hypoglycemic newborns, these glucose gel solutions can also come in handy (maybe even better than intravenous glucose), because the latter hinders the parent-child relationship. A wise word: Not all neonatal hypoglycemia can be treated with glucose gel, so consult a doctor.
Although glucose can be used for diabetics, it is not without risks. It may increase your blood sugar too much, causing your blood sugar level to soar. When this happens, hyperglycemia may occur.
If you experience adverse side effects, seek medical help immediately. If these symptoms occur, then you will know that things are not going well—and soon:
Even so, if you are taking any other medications, please tell your doctor-they will know when not to prescribe glucose.
