Usually, a diabetic will know if their blood sugar has dropped too low and will try to communicate it to you one way or another. Always have them check their blood sugar. Generally, the rule is: If the BG (Blood glucose) is below 75 then the person is considered to be "low"- in hypoglycemia.
However, a diabetic may feel the symptoms of hypoglycemia yet not be "low". I can say from experience, I thought I was REALLY low one time, I checked, and ended up being like mid 70's- which is not too awfully bad. So, it is always important to check before taking action.
If the patient is just acting weird, or doesn't seem ok, or doesn't respond like they usually do, just check to make sure everything is under control. Not everyone experiences the same symptoms during hypoglycemia, so it is important to make sure you know what each patient experiences.

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.

Under what conditions does a patient need to be on a drip of glucose in Diverticulatic diet?
A patient may need to be on a drip of glucose in a diverticulitis diet if they are unable to tolerate oral intake due to severe symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, or significant pain. This intravenous glucose can help maintain hydration and provide essential calories when oral nutrition is not feasible. Additionally, if the patient is experiencing complications such as bowel obstruction or perforation, they may require IV fluids and glucose for proper management. Careful monitoring by healthcare professionals is crucial in these situations.
How does drip of glocose help patient to recover?
glucose in the body is maintained at a constant level. When there is a depletion in this level, a person can go unconscìous because of inadequate glucose supply to the brain. Administration of glucose increase glucose supply to the brain and recover such patients.
