What are glucose tablets? We tell you

Sugar drops can be as dangerous as they are silent. Sudden dizziness, tremors, blurred vision... and the body calling for help. For those living with diabetes, having a quick solution on hand for hypoglycemia episodes can make a big difference. That's where the famous glucose tablets come into play. Small, practical, and very effective, these tablets are not only useful, they are essential. But, what exactly are glucose tablets and why are they so important for people living with diabetes?

Today we explain it clearly, without technical jargon and from real experience. We tell you why they have become an essential basic item in the pocket or bag of many people.

Glucose tablets

Glucose tablets are chewable tablets containing dextrose, a simple form of sugar that the body absorbs quickly. They are specially designed to raise blood sugar levels almost immediately in cases of hypoglycemia.

They usually come in convenient packages to carry in your pocket or bag, and are available in several pleasant flavors, which makes them easy to take even in urgent moments.

You can find them in the Glucody online store in different versions, such as strawberry or lemon flavor, in 1 kg bags (500 tablets), plus a convenient dispenser.

What is dextrose?

Dextrose is a type of simple sugar, chemically identical to the glucose circulating in the blood. What makes it special is its ultra-fast absorption capacity. Since it does not require digestion, it passes directly into the bloodstream and acts almost instantly.

This makes it the ideal option to treat sudden drops in sugar, much faster than other foods like juices or fruits.

What does the glucose tablet do?

The main purpose of the glucose tablet is to raise blood glucose levels quickly but in a controlled manner. It is a basic tool to treat mild or moderate hypoglycemia, whose symptoms may include:

• Dizziness

• Tremors

• Cold sweat

• Confusion

• Blurred vision

• Palpitations

When these signs are detected, one or two glucose tablets can correct the sugar level before the episode progresses to something more serious, like loss of consciousness.

It is important to clarify that glucose tablets do not replace a meal or medical treatment. But they do offer a quick, practical, and portable solution to stabilize until you can eat something more complete.

How to take glucose tablets correctly

It is not enough to have them; although they are 100% effective, you also need to know how and when to use them in cases of hypoglycemia. Let's see:

• In general, it is recommended to take between 10 and 15 grams of glucose. This equals 5 to 7 tablets of 2 g, like Glucody.

• Suck or chew the tablet slowly. Do not swallow it whole. This helps with more effective absorption.

• Wait 10 to 15 minutes and measure your glucose again. If the level is still low, you can take another one.

• Remember that these tablets are not taken just in case. They are an immediate action tool, not a daily supplement.

It is also important to remember to carry them with you when you exercise, leave the house, or drive. Especially if you use insulin or medications that lower blood sugar.
