Product Overview
Fast-acting dextrose gel (40%) in portable tubes (3 x 25 g), each with ~10 g glucose to help raise blood sugar quickly during hypoglycaemia episodes.
Description
Dextrogel Dextrose Gel 40% comes in a pack of 3 x 25 g tubes, each delivering approximately 10 g of glucose (d-glucose monohydrate) in a water-based gel. It’s formulated for immediate carbohydrate supplementation; the gel consistency makes it easy to swallow or rub inside the cheek for faster absorption. This product is especially useful for individuals managing diabetes, athletes, or anyone needing a rapid energy boost due to low blood sugar levels.
The tubes are compact and portable, ideal for keeping in a bag, car, workplace or first-aid kit. Dextrogel is gluten-free, lactose-free, wheat-free and free from artificial colours, making it suitable for a wide range of dietary needs.
How to Use
Directions:
• Adults and children where advised: Remove the cap and squeeze the required amount of gel into the mouth, ideally onto the inside of the cheek for buccal absorption, or swallow directly.
• A single 25 g tube contains ~10 g glucose; healthcare professionals often recommend 10–20 g carbohydrate for treating mild to moderate hypoglycaemia, repeated after 10–15 minutes if needed.
• Only use when the person is fully conscious and able to swallow safely.
Important Advice:
• Follow your healthcare professional’s guidance on how much and when to use Dextrogel as part of your diabetes management plan.
• Keep tubes closed until use and store at room temperature below 25 °C.
• Do not exceed the recommended intake without clinical advice.
