I bought them once.

They are equivalent to 10 grams of glucose.Which is the same as two 5 gram pills.

For my normal hypoglycemias, it is usually too much glucose at once, which almost always causes a high afterwards.

I prefer pills for better control.


If that amount is normal for you, taking it in a hypo is comfortable to carry and take.
