with your health care provider for specific recommendations on using
glucose tablets.

Couldn't I simply eat some chocolate or ice cream to raise my
blood glucose?
Yes, but chocolate and ice cream also contain
fat which will cause your blood sugar to rise slower than with ReliOn® Glucose
Tablets.
[Back to top]
Do the ReliOn® Glucose Tablets contain
any fat, sodium or caffeine?
No. There is no fat, sodium, caffeine
or cholesterol in ReliOn® Glucose
Tablets.

No, they are not kosher, however, they do not contain any animal
products.
[Back to top]
Are the ReliOn® Glucose Tablets gluten-free?
Yes. We have tested our tablets and they are gluten-free. (We
do not make this claim on the label).
[Back to top]
Were the ReliOn® Glucose Tablets tested
on animals?
No. They were never tested on animals.
[Back to top]
Are there any 15-gram tablets available on the market?
No. A 15-gram tablet would be too big and difficult to chew.
Using the 4-gram tablets allows you to better manage how many grams of
carbohydrate you are eating.
[Back to top]
Do ReliOn® Glucose Tablets come in different
package sizes?
Yes. ReliOn® Glucose Tablets are available
in tubes of 10 and bottles of 50. The tubes are small and easy
to carry.
[Back to top]
Why don't ReliOn® Glucose Tablets have
a NDC (National Drug Code)?
ReliOn® Glucose Tablets are labeled as a food because glucose is
a sugar - not a drug. Glucose tablets are used by anybody who wants fast
acting carbohydrates. Athletes use them for energy, students
for concentration, and some people even use them as a fat-free
snack.
[Back to top]
Is there an expiration date on the package of ReliOn® Glucose
Tablets?
No. Glucose is a sugar and does not expire. Just like candy,
you can eat them years after you bought them. Over time, the tablets
may get a little harder and do not taste quite as great, but they're
still safe to eat.
[Back to top]
Why are there spots on my ReliOn® Glucose
Tablets?
The spots are usually due to moisture. Even if the color changes,
they're still safe to eat. Always make sure to store the tablets with
the cap tightly closed.
[Back to top]
Why is vitamin C (ascorbic acid) added to the ReliOn® Glucose
Tablets?
Ascorbic acid is added for "binding purposes," to improve
the consistency of the product.
[Back to top]
Why can’t I find the flavor or size glucose tablets I want at my local Wal-Mart?
While the majority of Wal-Mart stores stock all flavors and sizes of ReliOn® Glucose Tablets, the size of some stores limits the variety they can carry. We recommend speaking with an associate at your local store, as they may be able to special order what you are looking for.
