A member asked:

Can dextrose cause tingling sensation on hands and feet ?

Sugar, sugar: Sugar by any other name can still cause the same problems. If you are diabetic with an already high blood sugar, dextrose can cause those symptoms. If you have "rebound hypoglycemia" which occurs after a delay from sugar intake, you can also experience tingling. Get checked for glucose metabolism problems.

Yes: The increase in the blood sugar, just as in diabetes, from the dextrose can cause a tingling sensation(neuropathy) in your hands and feet.
