What is a glucose shot?
A glucose shot is a concentrated liquid carbohydrate product supplied in a small, single-use bottle. It offers an easy-to-consume alternative to chewable glucose tablets, gel sachets and larger sugary drinks.
Because the liquid is sealed in an individual bottle, it can be stored with everyday essentials at home, at work or while travelling. The drinkable format may suit people who prefer liquid glucose to chewing tablets or handling a thick gel.
