That is why it is called invert sugar. Advantages of invert sugar based i.V. Fluids over plain dextrose based i.V. Fluids are derived out of the fructose component of invert sugar.

• Fructose is largely independent of insulin for its utilization by the cells, at the same time faster phosphrylated and utilized as compared to dextrose

• Fructose has the capability to stimulate insulin in presence of dextrose

• Additional insulin is helpful in dextrose metabolism

The combination of dextrose & fructose produces less hyperglycemia and glycosuira than similar quantities of dextrose.
