A low blood sugar level is also known as something called hypoglycaemia. This is when the level of sugar in the blood drops too low and causes symptoms. People with diabetes will often experience this, especially if they are taking insulin.

If it isn’t treated quickly, say with some Glucogel 40, a low blood sugar level can be extremely dangerous.

Early signs you may need to take Glucogel 40 include:

• Sweating
• Feeling tired
• Dizziness
• Feeling hungry
• Tingling lips
• Feeling shaky or trembling
• A fast or pounding heartbeat
• Becoming easily irritated, tearful, anxious or moody

Glucogel 40 Gel is for diabetics and are supposed to be taken when someone is experiencing low blood sugar symptoms. Once they’ve been taken, it is recommended that levels are checked 10 to 15 minutes after ingesting, making sure levels are rising and are back to a safe enough range.

Other gels and glucose tablets for diabetics usually relieve symptoms within a 10 minute period. Glucogel 40 Gel may be recommended if levels are dropping fast due to not needing to be chewed.

Glucogel 40 Gel is not meant for emergency hypoglycaemia. Emergency treatment would need something like a glucagon emergency kit or Baqsimi nasal spray.
