Yes, intravenous (IV) dextrose 5 percent can raise blood glucose levels. Dextrose is a simple sugar that, when administered, quickly increases the amount of glucose available in the bloodstream. This is often used in medical settings to treat hypoglycemia or provide energy in patients who may not be able to ingest food orally. The effect on blood glucose levels is typically rapid and can be monitored to ensure appropriate management.

What can you drink to raise sugar level for diabetes?

They used to say drink orange juice. But a far better choice is to eat a peanut butter sandwich and drink a glass of milk. If you are having a low blood sugar incident, use your glucose tabs to safely but rapidly increase the blood glucose level. The Pb sandwich will help raise glucose for a longer period of time without a rapid spike and a rapid fall.
