A member asked:
Can it be possible to give glucose to a patient orally?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Glucose is available in oral form which is useful for patients feeling an insulin reaction coming on. Glucose is common in infusions and does give quicker access than the oral form but obviously more involved than oral dosage.
