I know that *we* don't tend to give dextrose in fluids unless we've checked the patients blood glucose and it is low. Then we keep an eye on it and stop the dextrose when the blood glucose is back to normal. Of course we're not *real* doctors!

Maybe they would agree not to give you any unless your blood glucose was low?

It is interesting to think about what would happen though isn't it! I have a mental image of all of us running around the hospital in those flimsy gowns racing down the halls with our IV poles and a bunch of non-sugared up doctors, nurses and security people chasing after us!
