I was wondering - what's the difference between dextrose tablets and glucose tablets? Are they both the same? Is one better for a hypo than the other? I only ask cos I've only ever known of glucose tabs and then I saw dextrose tabs in Boots and they were far cheaper than the glucose ones.
AND......I have a friend who is very obese. Up to now she hasn't had any diabetes symptoms but I did a BM for her last week and it was 7.8. This was about 2pm and she hadn't eaten anything since her breakfast of cereal at about 9.30am. I felt it was a little higher than it should be....should I advise her to see her GP? Her late mum was T2 on insulin.
