Glucose Liquid Gel, Pack of 20, Orange - 15g Fast-Acting Liquid Glucose

Bought for two reasons. First, my wife has sugar issues and keeps them in her purse in case her sugar level drops too low. She thought the Mixed Berry gel tasted wonderful and was quick acting to raise her sugar levels. I purchased to use while backpacking when I felt my energy levels dropping. I never liked the energy delay from eating trail mix or energy bars. The gel is more "liquid" than gel-like which I like better because by the time I feel the energy need I am borderline dehydrated anyway. I also thought they tasted fabulous. Have highly recommended to my fellow backpackers. Saw a review saying the person didn't like the taste and I think they are crazy. I cut open a pouch before a hike just to make sure I would like the flavor and wanted to consume the whole thing. Taped it up and almost couldn't wait to finish it off. Have now used on the Appalachian Trail (twice), Boulevard Trail to the Leconte Lodge and recently on the AT in the Big Laural Branch Wilderness (Nov 2024). (All in Tennessee).

The size, thickness, taste, quality and value for the money is awesome. Great since they are portable. I also love that they are all natural simple ingredients and don't have all the bad preservatives that other companies put in their glucose gel packets. Yes they cost just a teensy bit more but so much better for your body. Since they don't have all of the preservatives it will be super easy on your stomach.

Work quickly and don’t taste too bad. You’ll definitely want water after them tho.

As a type 1 diabetic, I know to never leave home without glucose. I've kept a packet type of glucose...gel form... on hand for when I need a fast-acting, predictable dose of glucose, along with glucose tablets for less aggressive low blood sugars. Anything in a pre-dosed packet like this is also great for travel and outdoors activities. Packets are my go-to for hiking (no scent to attract bears!), snorkeling, and other things that would make a glucose tablet or juice box troublesome. That said, I tried this brand for the first time since they were a little less expensive than the one I've used for a while. On a recent trip, I used one during a hike and was a little surprised that these are very liquid vs. being a gel. My fault as I didn't catch it in the description. This is certainly not a deal killer, but I hesitate about reordering because a liquid would be harder to ingest for someone unconscious or semi-conscious. Also, with a gel, I know I'm squeezing out every little bit to get the full 15 grams of glucose. Overall, though, these are fine and the taste is pleasant. They also, as I said above, are wonderful for outdoor activities where ready-available glucose is a must.

If your away from home and find yourself needing a glucose fix in the ounce size recommended by most doctors then this is an easy choice. It's fast acting and easier to take than 2 tablespoons of honey.

These are great and handy. They don’t make a mess. Unlike the pills where you have to eat like five.

I should have just gotten the berry one. The orange tastes terrible. They work, but I recommend the berry only.

It’s very good and useful for managing hypo with ease. The flavor is on point and I like the fact it’s like a juice instead of a gel so it doesn’t cause you to gag.

Es muy, muy práctico por el tamaño y peso que tiene, y funciona super bien para salir de hipoglucemias. Lo recomiendo!
