Dextro Energy Dextrose Drink, Apple, Liquid Glucose, Alternative to Glucose Tablets, 50ml Pack of 24

Essential part of every diabetics travel pack.Fantastic for boosting blood sugars on the go, very light, texture of water in fact, with the added bonus of a resealable top so you can choose how much you want and save the rest for laterTaste is always a matter of opinion.. I like this, very strong citrus, almost enough to cover the inevitable synthetic, chemical background flavour ;-)

good product if a tad expensive

I got this product to bring with me when I'm cycling as I am a Type 1 diabetic and needed something small and easy to consume, but still effective at raising blood sugar levels. These little packs are perfect as they are quick to elevate the sugar levels and also taste nice. Full marks

Initially i purchased it for low glucose count however after the GP ruled out, i have been taking before and after my gym session to boost the sugar level. Other than that a good product, assuring and handy.

I've been a Type 1 diabetic for a very long time and don't find these very practical. Their small slim size makes it difficult to find in a hurry; especially if you have put one in a bag.; and the tiny screw cap can be infuriating when you are in a hurry.In the sixteen months I have had these I have only used them once; and that was purely experimental. I felt the glucose "flush" was too strong and it put me off.I find having a mars bar, double decker, or a big piece of your favourite chocolate is more convenient and works just as well. I don't find fruit juice works that well.If you find, like I sometimes do, that your blood sugar is not going up fast enough, your potassium levels could be low and you need a coconut water; or else boil a kettle, add milk and two sugars and dip a tea bag in it. Add more milk to make cool enough to get down.and your blood sugars will recover very quickly.I often watch a late night film and check my blood sugar around midnight. If it looks a bit on the low side I have a biscuit or something similar to get me through the rest of the night without going hypo.

These help me get through the busy day at work when I'm feeling a bit faint. The flavour is very synthetic / artificial but who cares, as long as they help to perk you up.

These work out cheaper than other glucose drinks I've found.Fast acting so good for treating hypos.

Great for hypos. My son is diabetic and that little pouch is awesome to treat hypos. Just a few sips (depending of levels of course) and bring his levels back up. Better than lucozade. Really strong though. Bit sickening taste but works wonder.
