How many glucose tablets should I take to prevent hypoglycemia? The 15 rule
The clinical practice guide of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) establishes the so-called "15-rule" As a standard protocol for treating mild or moderate hypoglycemia:
- Confirms hypoglycemia With glucometer or sensor (glucose < 70 mg/dL) or before clear symptoms.
- Take 15g of fast glucose: With the 2g Glucody tablets, this is equivalent to 7-8 pills. In mild hypoglycemia 4-5 may be enough.
- Wait 15 minutes And measure your blood sugar again.
- If the levels remain low, Repeat the process. If they have normalized, take a snack with complex carbohydrates to stabilize.
The 2g format per Glucody tablet is ideal for this rule: it allows you to dose accurately without the risk of overdosing and without the rebound effect that juices or sugary drinks can produce, which can cause difficult-to-control amounts of glucose.
Glucose tablets vs gels and juices: which is better?
Although both the tablets and the glucose gel contain dextrose, each format has a different and complementary time of use. Knowing the difference helps you be better prepared:
- Glucose tablets: To prevent. Use them when your sensor shows a downward trend, before intense physical activity or before the first symptoms of low blood sugar. Their solid format, their exact dose of 2g per tablet and their easy transport make them ideal to always carry with you and act before hypoglycemia occurs.
- Glucose gel: To recover. Use it when you are already in severe hypoglycemia. The 12g single-dose gel suddenly provides the necessary amount to reverse a severe drop, it is easy to take even with trembling or confusion, and does not require chewing. Each packet contains the right dose to recover without complications.
- Use them together: Many people with diabetes carry both formats. The pills go in the day-to-day pocket to prevent; the gel stays in the bag or bedside table as an emergency reserve to recover if hypoglycemia has already occurred.
For daily use, glucose tablets are the preferred choice for most people with diabetes due to their comfort, precision and ease of transport. At Glucody you will also find Glucose gel In a single-dose format to complement your emergency kit.
