During severe diahorrea, when the patient is not able to take food orally, then he/she is given a drip of glucose intravenously to prevent water loss and maintain electrolyte balance in the body.

Answer:
A patient is needed to be given glucose until and unless the normal blood glucose levels are restored and the patient is able to intake food normally.
Glucose is administered in circumstances where the normal blood sugar level of a patient falls. It is required to treat low blood sugar conditions.
In other times, it can be administered in cases where the patient suffers from diabetic ketoacidosis, high level of potassium, etc.
