Question: From Portsmouth, Virginia, USA: I am a firefighter/ paramedic and my department uses oral glucose in our medical bags. What are the pros and cons of using the gel-based oral glucose versus the quick-dissolve tablet form of oral glucose? Answer: Gel is absorbed from the mouth, cheek and stomach so it's clearly easier to get in. LD DTQ-20031023123906 Original posting 28 Oct 2003 Posted to Hypoglycemia
