Re: Hypoglycemic Corn-Allergic Patients
I am a corn-allergic
citizen diagnosed with “nocturnal reactive non-diabetic hypoglycemia;”
therefore, dextrose (cornstarch sugar/D-glucose)-containing IV fluids cannot be
administered to me. As a result, I
suffered an acute hypoglycemic episode (BS: 52) while hospitalized
requiring emergency intervention.
This is when I became
aware that there is currently NO PROTOCOL for treating hypoglycemic
corn-allergic patients. The hospital
had no corn-free glucose (blood sugar)-elevating agents available to treat my
hypoglycemic episode.
The nurse had to inject an
antihistamine into my IV due to my acute allergic reaction to the corn-derived
ascorbic acid (synthetic vitamin C) in the orange juice. Thankfully, I survived this episode of acute
hypoglycemia, and now take organic honey w/me to the hospital if not admitted
due to an emergency. I want to raise awareness of this CRITICAL CONCERN for
hypoglycemic corn-allergic patients.
CRITICAL: Synthetic formulations cannot be declared "biochemically
identical" to the natural counterpart when the synthetic formulation
can PROVE FATAL to humans.

Re: Glucose Tablets
These glucose (blood
sugar)-elevating tablets contain added corn-derived excipients that can PROVE
FATAL to corn-allergic patients.
Re: Dextrose
Dextrose is the
chemical name for cornstarch sugar/D-glucose, 21CFR184.1857, and is utilized as
a glucose (blood sugar)-elevating agent in IV drips. Since
these IV drips contain allergenic corn proteins, they are contraindicated for
administration to corn-allergic patients in the package insert.
Published in a Medical Journal:
"Dextrose-containing
solutions pose a significant risk to patients allergic to corn. Dextrose used
for IV fluids is prepared by . . . hydrolysis of cornstarch."

Hospital warns of the danger of dextrose and cornstarch (noted in

Corn-Allergic Patients:
If a clinician injects you
with DEXTROSE (cornstarch sugar/D-glucose)-containing IV fluids,
21CFR184.1857, CONTACT A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAWYER IMMEDIATELY.
