Just where I can't eat some foods due to texture.
Just where I can't eat some foods due to texture.What exactly is "texture issues"? I'll let you into a secret, no one like dextrose tablets. But they treat hypos quickly, you don't eat them to enjoy the experience, you eat them to correct your blood sugar and it's over in seconds.
If you can't eat food, which is the only skill a dextrose tablet requires, try glucojuice. I think there are also dissolvable glucose sachets available inthat section of boots.
The suggestions from your dietician are perfectly sensible, why not just try them.
I don't have any larger boots. I have two small Boots pharmacies. Also, I haven't been suggested Gluco JuiceWhat exactly is "texture issues"? I'll let you into a secret, no one like dextrose tablets.

Apparently, chocolate doesn't raise a hypo quick enough.You can also get glucose that you just add to water. Get it from Boots.
Hypo stoppers can be varied... i have 2 sq of my fav aldi choc. I used to have sugar in milk...
Well unless you specify what the texture you are trying to avoid is, it's rather difficult to offer any helpful suggestions. If you "texture issues" can more accurately be described as food preferences, or being a picky eater I will stress again, no one is eating dextrose tablets thinking how lovely they are. You just eat them to treat the hypo.Just where I can't eat some foods due to texture.

My mum said I'd have to put Glucotabs in water then stir it. The website says it's a chewable dextrose tablet. Which is it

If you struggle with texture issues, then why not consume liquid? Such alternatives are;
Lucozade (be warned recipe is changing)
Glucojuice
Fruit juice
Full fat coke or similar
heck at worst sugar cubes disolved in water
