TRUEplus® Glucose Tablets, Raspberry Flavor - 50ct

For family member that get low sugar. I was advised they taste fine.

Glucose tablets are not something to get excited about since their purpose is to help hypoglycemic and diabetics to recover from low blood sugar episodes, but with the recent shortage of glucose, finding these medically necessary items has gotten more difficult. Was happy to find these and found that they are pretty much exactly the same as those found in local retailers, grocery stores and others. The texture is still powdery like the candy Sweetarts and the flavor is fairly pleasant. (I got the raspberry.) I opened a bottle when they first arrived to sample taste/texture and was a bit dismayed to find that there is a redundancy in security wrapping. You first must pull off the entire outside wrapper using a perforated tearing line and then you have a pull tab under the lid that covers the opening of the bottle. That pull tab torn off in small pieces and took 3 tears to get it all torn away. So big warning for users—fully open your bottle in advance of any low blood sugar episode or you may have difficulty getting into it unless your don’t lose your coordination and brain function as much as I do when my blood sugar gets super low.

Very tasty and they work fast

This works great, you just need be patient and not eat to many

Todo bien se recibió a tiempo

I keep a bottle in the car, the refrigerator, at work, anywhere I think of. A great value for something you don’t use often BUT, when you need them you need one or two RIGHT NOW!

all good

These are great if you are just learning how to balance your blood sugar with insulin, or if you have hypoglycemic episodes and worry about getting caught while you are out, without a source of *measured* glucose. They are particularly great if you are implementing a new exercise plan into your overall health program. Very handy, and pretty decent taste!

For the amount I received, a bit too expensive

A few years ago all the glucose tablets at Rite Aid, Target, etc., suddenly had ramped up flavor and extra coloring. I suspect all the different store brands come from the same source. But Discount Drug Mart continued with the same mildly flavored, not deeply colored tablets. These True Plus brand, which is carried by Discount Drug Mart, have a mild flavor which is very nice when low blood sugar is causing greatly increased taste sensitivity. I like orange best, raspberry for a switch. I refill small tubes from the big bottles so they can be with me wherever I go. The price here is reasonable. Other sellers are asking way too much. Generally around $4 or $5.00 for 50 tabs is the best you can do.
