The ADA recommends that a person take 15g of carbohydrates if there is a lowering in blood sugar. Since Dex4 Glucose Gel contains a precise dose of 15 grams of carbohydrates it is recommended that you ingest the entire tube. This amount may need to be adjusted to factor in your age and body weight. Please consult with your healthcare team to determine the best serving size for you. If after 15 minutes, the levels do not balance out, repeat the process. If no response after 2 doses seek medical attention.
