Some people are not necessarily "allergic" to glucose (sugar) or fructose (fruit sugar) , but are nevertheless intolerant of these sugars or have a metabolic difficulty processing them in their bodies. This may result in problems.
Glucose intolerance is, simply, the body's poor tolerance to and processing of glucose (sugar in the blood).
A glucose/insulin metabolism imbalance can be a cause of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia (diabetes). There may also be insulin resistance and the development of obesity. Other symptoms of this imbalance can be cold hands and feet, disorientation, dizziness, fatigue, headache, nausea, and any of the other myriad of symptoms associated with too high or too low blood sugar.

I don't think so. But a person who has diabetes should be careful.
