BBI Healthcare
A liquid will work faster in your system than a solid – so smoothies, fruit juice or one of the gluco gel products are a good bet for an initial reaction to a hypo.
With solids, they need a bit of digestion before the sugars are released. They will work, they’ll just take a bit longer to do so.
These Glucotabs are fast acting dextrose tablets, containing 4g of fast acting glucose in each tablet.
Glucotabs
Glucotabs® are a fast acting dextrose tablet that comes in a strong refillable tube – no more pockets full of crumbled tablets. Available in two great-tasting flavours.
Available in two flavours, orange and raspberry
Comment from Diabetes Expert
You don't need to tell a diabetic what it's like to have a hypo, and most diabetics have something to hand, 'just in case.' which means you can take a tube out with you and leave the pot at home - or in a desk drawer at work, the glove compartment of the car or anywhere else that's handy for you - and refill when required.
