Glucose is a simple carbohydrate that is the main molecule for supplying the energy needed for the body's processes. Under the action of digestive enzymes, it is converted into free glucose. It is also available as a sweetener or medicine.
Forms of release
Glucose is available as a sweetener, supplement or medicine. Powdered glucose is used as a sweetener – crystallised glucose. There is also an injectable glucose solution.
Indications for use
Glucose is used as a sweetener or mixed with other products with sweetening properties to prepare various sweet dishes. In crystallised form, under the name dextrose, it is used as a sweetener and sometimes helps children and babies in their development. As a carbohydrate that is quickly absorbed by the body, it is recommended for intense physical activity. Glucose is recommended for people who engage in intense physical activity, as it provides energy to the body, but also after exercise, during the recovery process. It is recommended for those with increased energy needs and for recovery after exertion. The infusion solution may also be indicated for the prevention and treatment of ketosis in cases of diarrhoea, vomiting and malnutrition.
Dosage and administration
Dosages vary depending on several factors and age. People who engage in intense physical activity need 4-6 g of carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight per day. Those who follow a specific diet aimed at reducing adipose tissue require 2–3 g of glucose per kilogram of body weight per day. Requirements may vary depending on the intensity of training, the body type of each individual and other parameters. Glucose doses should ideally be based on the doctor's or pharmacist's instructions, as well as individual needs.

Can glucose be taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended that you consult your doctor before taking glucose. It is important to perform a glucose tolerance test to detect gestational diabetes.
What is a glucose tolerance test?
Also known as induced hyperglycaemia, this test determines the body's ability to metabolise glucose. It is recommended in cases of prediabetes, diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes. Before the test, you will follow a diet in which you will consume 150-200 g of carbohydrates daily for 3 days, and your last meal will be 12 hours before the test. In the morning, on an empty stomach, a blood sample will be taken and your blood sugar level will be determined. The patient then consumes 75 g of glucose, and blood samples are taken 1 hour and 2 hours after consumption. The blood glucose level after 2 hours must be <140 mg/dl.
What is a glucose test during pregnancy?
A glucose tolerance test is a test used to detect gestational diabetes, a condition in which blood glucose levels are elevated during pregnancy. It is also important when the glucose tolerance test is performed during pregnancy. A glucose test during pregnancy is usually performed between weeks 24 and 28 of pregnancy, unless there are risk factors that require earlier testing.
How much does a glucose tolerance test during pregnancy cost?
In general, the price of a glucose test during pregnancy and a glucose tolerance test during pregnancy may vary depending on the location and healthcare provider.
Glucose or blood sugar? What is the difference?
Glucose is a type of sugar that serves as the body's main source of energy. Blood sugar is the level of glucose in the blood or serum glucose. Urine glucose, fasting blood sugar, a glucose tolerance test or other related tests can also be performed.
