Can we give glucose to a diabetic patient?
Glucose should only be given to Diabetic patients when they are in hypoglycemic state i.e., when the blood sugar levels have dropped below normal range and patient is symptomatic.

The pancreas,produces insulin. Insulin production is regulated based on blood sugar levels and other hormones in the body.
Babies of GDM mothers may have more birth weight, preterm birth and respiratory distress, low blood sugar shortly after birth and hypoglycemic seizures, still birth and obesity/ diabetes later in their life.
Treatment is either tablets or insulin to control blood sugar levels along with life style modifications (Diet + exercise).
Creatinine level of 1.7 is significant of mild elevation from normal range, but it alone does not dictate severity of kidney disease in Diabetic patients.
