Describe the body's mechanisms for controlling blood glucose levels under normal and stress conditions.?
Glucose exists as a solid at standard conditions since it is a stable molecule at room temperature and pressure.
The brain consumes around 120g of glucose per day.

Muscle cells that break down glucose to generate ATP under oxygen deficient conditions will form lactic acid. This process is known as anaerobic glycolysis, where glucose is converted into lactic acid in the absence of adequate oxygen for cellular respiration.
Under the right conditions, yes, a hospital can keep you from seeing a patient. If the patient is contagious, is undergoing surgery, or is in ICU (which is the most probable reason), a hospital can keep you from seeing a patient.
Photosynthesis in plants occurs at a rate of about 0.5 to 3 grams of glucose per square meter per hour under optimal conditions.
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.
