Can diabetics receive glucose infusion?

Patient's question:

There is a question that troubles me greatly, leaving me feeling helpless and deeply panicked. Can diabetics receive glucose intravenously? I'm not sure. This recurring major issue makes me feel extremely distressed, and I don't know what to do. Can they?

Doctor's answer:

Glucose injection is not absolutely used for diabetic patients, but it needs to be selected based on the specific situation of the patient. However, you cannot decide on your own whether to use glucose injection for intravenous infusion. Instead, the treating doctor will determine this based on your actual condition. Therefore, if you currently have any discomfort symptoms, you must first go to the hospital for a review and examination to confirm the diagnosis before starting treatment. Never attempt to treat yourself blindly.
