What are glucose tablets?
Glucose tablets are chewable, pleasant-tasting supplements that are made from glucose (a specific type of fast-acting sugar). They come in various flavors and contain other agents to bind the ingredients together. Each tablet contains a pre-measured amount of 3-4 grams of glucose with approximately 15 calories per tablet. If you’re not sure which are the best glucose tablets for you, talk to a healthcare professional.
What are glucose tablets used for?
Glucose tablets for diabetics are an excellent choice for hypoglycemia or low blood sugar, which is generally considered 70mg/dl or below. Without glucose to fuel the brain, confusion can set in, along with other potential mental and physical symptoms. In most cases, hypoglycemia is mild and can be treated with oral glucose agents. If severe and untreated, hypoglycemia may result in seizures, loss of consciousness, coma, and possibly even death. Hypoglycemia is especially dangerous to those with heart disease.
