To raise blood sugar quickly, ReliOn Glucose Tablets deliver fast-acting carbohydrates to relieve hypoglycemic episodes. What"s more, they contain no fat, caffeine or sodium and are naturally cholesterol free. Many people with diabetes are not sure how to effectively avoid and/or manage hypoglycemia. The foods most commonly used to treat this condition (candy, cola and juice) contain sucrose or fructose which requires time to break down into glucose, delaying relief of hypoglycemic events. Because it is difficult for patients to be sure how much glucose they are metabolizing with these foods, they tend to over-treat, turning hypoglycemia into hyperglycemia.
