Glucose (Dextrose) is a monosaccharide sugar found throughout the body, including in breastmilk. It is essential for cell function.
Sucrose or common or table sugar contains glucose.
It is used orally or intravenously in cases of dehydration, hypoglycemia and kidney failure, as a glucose tolerance test in diabetes or pregnancy (sugar test, O'Sullivan's test) and as a pharmaceutical excipient.
The consumption or administration of glucose is perfectly compatible with breastfeeding (WHO 2002).
