Glucose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) that is used to increase the level of blood glucose when the level falls too low (hypoglycemia). Glucose is a glucose-elevating agent. Other glucose-elevating agents are diazoxide (Proglycem) and glucagon.Glucose is the primary fuel used by most cells in the body to generate the energy that is needed to carry out cellular functions. When glucose levels fall to hypoglycemic levels, cells cannot function normally, and symptoms develop such as nervousness, cool skin, headache, confusion, convulsions or coma. Ingested glucose is absorbed directly into the blood from the intestine and results in a rapid increase in the blood glucose level.
Indications: Vitamin C is used for prevention and treatment in every circumstance when-the human body requires additional administration of this vitamin for prevention and treatment of scurvy, for hemorrhagic diathesis, nasal bleeding, pulmonary hemorrhage, liver hemorrhage, uterine bleeding, and other bleeding conditions, including those caused by radiation sickness and over-dosage of anticoagulants, infectious sicknesses and poisoning, liver diseases, kidney diseases in pregnant women, Addison sickness, slowly healing wounds and bone fractures, dystrophy and other ailments.

Overdose:
1. Vitamin C causes diarrhea in everyone if taken in quantities beyond a limit which is variable to the individual. Cathcart[4] has called this limit the Bowel Tolerance Limit and observed that it is higher in people with serious illness than those in good health. It ranges from 5 to 25 grams per day in healthy individuals to 300 grams per day in the seriously ill persons, such as those with AIDS and cancer. The diarrhea side-effect is harmless though it can be inconvenient. The diarrhea will cease as soon as the dose is reduced.
2. Large doses of vitamin C may cause acid indigestion (stomach upset), particularly when taken on an empty stomach. This unpleasant but harmless side-effect can be avoided by taking the vitamin along with meals, or by offsetting its acidity by taking an antacid such as baking soda.
3. Overdose in vitamin C can cause nosebleed for some people.
