GlucoBoost Oral 40% Glucose Gel 25g x 3

GlucoBoost Oral 40% Glucose Gel 3x25g

Used widely in the NHS, each triple pack of GlucoBoost consists out of 3x25g tubes of clear glucose gel containing 10g of carbohydrates each, mainly in the form of dextrose (glucose). It is always best to check blood glucose before eating GlucoBoost to confirm that blood glucose is low and that extra carbohydrates are required.

NICE guidelines state that when 10-20g of carbohydrates are administered, blood glucose levels should increase in 5-15 minutes. GlucoBoost can be administered through a PEG tube, however you would not expect as quick absorption as you would through the buccal route (mouth/oral administration). It would be expected to increase blood glucose but not as quickly or as dramatically.

Features:

- Fast acting glucose - helps raise blood sugar levels rapidly
- Easy to carry and easy to use
- 40% dextrose monohydrate
- 10g glucose per tube
- Used widely in NHS and Ambulance service
