TRUEplus® Glucose Gel, Fruit Punch Flavor - Gel Pouch - 6 Pack

Fruit flavors actually taste great! Work fast and reliably in case of a blood sugar crash.

I bought these as an easily concealable snack during workouts or other outdoor work, and they are just that. They can easily be stuffed in a pocket and still contain enough carbs to effectively treat a low blood sugar. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it is important to note that they are very well sealed; to the point they are extremely challenging to open. Low blood sugar, shaky fingers, sweaty hands, and glossy plastic packaging will make you seriously question your sanity, while simultaneously putting on a great show for those lucky enough to witness the event. I first discovered this while on a run in 90+ degree heat. As I felt some minor symptoms of low blood sugar coming on, I whipped out the convenient little package from my belt, and for 3 minutes, twisted my fingers in ways I simply cannot duplicate, determined to rip off the tiny little plastic tap at the top. I finally decided my teeth would be the only way I was going to get into this surprisingly durable piece of plastic. I bit the tab, then realized my hand was still too sweaty to effectively grasp the pouch. As I attempted to dry my hands, I paused to recognize that I, a fully grown man, was running down the street flapping his hands like a bird, with a little plastic pouch, grasped firmly in my teeth flinging back and forth like a dog with its chew toy. Thankfully, I did eventually break in to the impenetrable vault of fruit goo. Needless to say, it’s very durable, and will not burst in your pocket. A fair warning, though, the experience may be something you’re able to list on your resume.

This glucose gel pouch is a lifesaver. The fruit punch flavor is surprisingly good—sweet without being overwhelming—and it works fast when you need a quick boost. I love that it’s fat‑free and gluten‑free, making it easy to trust and carry everywhere. Super convenient, reliable, and genuinely effective.

I use it when my blood sugar is low, I don't think there is anything out there that does it better.

Easy and fast to use when needed. But I compared the rate at which this liquid reacts to other candy/carbohydrates, I find no difference. The response time is the same for my body. Other people may have better results.
