WHAT IS GLUCOSE?
Glucose is a sugar and is the
basic chemical from which the
body derives its energy.
WHEN IS GLUCOSE
USED?
Glucose injection is given to
diabetic patients who become
unconscious because they have
not eaten enough after receiving
their insulin injection. It is
occasionally used in people who
are severely ill with alcohol
intoxication.
As glucose may be used in
medical emergencies, the
injection may be given by
paramedical personnel such as
ambulance or nursing staff.
WHO SHOULD _NOT_
HAVE GLUCOSE
INJECTIONS?
The only people who should not
have glucose injections are
those who have ischaemic heart
disease, those who already
have too much glucose in their
blood or who are severely
dehydrated and those who are
allergic to corn or corn products.
BEFORE YOU HAVE A
GLUCOSE INJECTION
If you are conscious you should
tell your doctor if you:
•
have ischaemic heart
disease

Glucose is a simple carbohydrate used as an energy source in man. It
is a component of sucrose, lactose and
certain other sugars. Glucose injection is a sterile aqueous solution
of glucose at a concentration of 50% w/v.
It has a pH of 3.5 to 6.5. It contains no bacteriostatic agents,
buffers or other excipients. The metabolism of
one gram of glucose yields around 3.8 calories (16 J).
PHARMACOLOGY
Glucose, the natural sugar occurring in the blood, is the principle
source of energy for the body. In addition, it
has a multitude of other roles. It is readily converted to fat which
provides a rich store of energy in concentrated
form. Glucose is also stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen.
When a rapid rise in blood sugar is
demanded by the body, glycogen is quickly converted to D-glucose. When
the supply of glucose is insufficient,
the body mobilises fat stores which are converted to acetate with
production of energy by the same oxidative
pathways employed in the combustion of glucose.
Glucose Injection 50% w/v is strongly hypertonic and is used partly
because of its dehydrating effects. It has
been employed to promote diuresis by increasing the osmotic pressure
of the glomerular filtrate.
Another important use of glucose is the sparing of proteins which, in
the absence of glucose, may be
deaminated to provide carbon moieties from their constituent amino
acids. These deaminated fragments may
undergo oxidation in order to release energy. Glucose is also the
probable source of glucuronic acid, with
which many foreign substances and their metabolites come to form
excretion products. It probably provides the
basic substances required for the formation of hyaluronates and
chrondroitin sulphates, the supporting
structures of the organism. It can be converted to a pentose essential
for the formation of nu
