GlucoGel Dextrose Gel 25g Tubes - Pack of 3

GlucoGel Dextrose Gel 40% (Pack of 3 x 25 g tubes) is formulated to quickly deliver a measured dose of glucose when blood sugar levels fall unexpectedly. Each single-use tube contains ~10 g of carbohydrate mainly in the form of dextrose (glucose), a simple sugar that is rapidly absorbed through the mouth and into the bloodstream, helping to raise blood glucose levels swiftly in the event of hypoglycaemia (“hypo”).

This convenient gel format is easy to swallow, ideal for carrying with you on the go (in a bag, pocket or diabetes pack), and recommended for people managing diabetes or anyone who may experience low blood sugar due to a missed meal, extra exercise, or other factors. It is free from artificial colours, sweeteners, caffeine and gluten, and suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

GlucoGel is widely used in clinical and community settings and recommended in UK guidelines for managing hypoglycaemia with fast-acting carbohydrate.

Directions:

• Adults & children (consult medical professional for children): Twist off the cap and squeeze the gel into the mouth, either directly onto the inside of the cheek for buccal absorption or into the mouth to swallow.
