Under what conditions does a person need to be on a drip of glucose?
Your question is a little vague. There are two kinds of glucose drip. (1) Patients that have had major surgery may not be capable of taking solid food for some time until they recover sufficiently to feed themselves. Therefore, the patient is given a 'glucose drip' via a tube which is inserted into a nostril - and goes directly into their stomach. The drip not only contains glucose - it also contains salts and minerals. It is intended as a 'short term fix' until the patient can feed themselves again. (2) Patients that have lost a lot of blood from an accident or major surgery - are given an intravenous drip which is intended to replace lost blood until the body can manufacture the lost blood itself.

If by "sugar" you mean D-glucose, then yes. That's exactly what a glucose drip is: an IV with a solution of D-glucose in water.
