Intravenous sugar solution, also known as dextrose solution, is a mixture of dextrose (glucose) and water. [1] It is used to treat low blood sugar or water loss without electrolyte loss. [ 2 ] Water loss without electrolyte loss may occur in fever , hyperthyroidism , high blood calcium , or diabetes insipidus . [ 2 ]
The conversion between the two anomers can be observed in a polarimeter since pure α-d-glucose has a specific rotation angle of +112.2° mL/(dm·g), pure β-d-glucose of +17.5° mL/(dm·g). [64] When equilibrium has been reached after a certain time due to mutarotation, the angle of rotation is +52.7° mL/(dm·g). [ 64 ]
GLP-1 plays a key role in stimulating insulin production and regulating blood sugar levels (glucose). It also suppresses appetite and boosts feelings of fullness, which can then lead to reduced ...
Sucralose is used in many food and beverage products because it is a non-nutritive sweetener (14 kilojoules [3.3 kcal] per typical one-gram serving), [5] does not promote dental cavities, [6] is safe for consumption by diabetics and nondiabetics [7] and does not affect insulin levels. [8]

Pure GDL is a white odorless crystalline powder. GDL has been marketed for use in feta cheese . [ 7 ] GDL is pH-neutral, but hydrolyses in water to gluconic acid which is acidic, adding a tangy taste to foods, though it has roughly a third of the sourness of citric acid .
Oral glucose gel is an over-the-counter medication, consisting primarily of dextrose and water, along with small amounts of other compounds.It is frequently used by people with diabetes and those with hypoglycaemia to raise their blood glucose when it becomes dangerously low.
