Glucotabs: Where they can be found?

I've been using the hypo treatment "Glucotabs" since starting my DAFNE regime and I have found them helpful considering they clearly state on the tube "4g per tablet" and they're in a plastic tube that doesn't eventually ruin my tablets and let the powder from them fill the bottom of my bag like lucozade or dexdrose tablets do.

Now I really would like to continue using them but I often find that they're only avaliable at the superstore ASDA, and so here is my query, has anyone seen them being sold anywhere else? Even my local pharmacies doesn't have them!

I generally tend to buy them in bulk because they're so helpful but sometimes ASDA runs out of stock so an alternative shop would be good. I would buy them online but I do not have the option to do this right now (online references would be helpful too anyway on that note).

I look forward to your replies. Thanks in advance!

I buy them on line from the medical shop. They sell the 50 tab pots as well as the smaller tubes. You can purchase from them over the phone - 0800 731 6959.

I've found them on line at Boots too - so maybe they sell them in store or could get them for you.


Hope this helps - they're my preferred hypo treatment too.

Hi, I've not heard of the "glucotabs" before, I like the idea of a pot to keep them in. My hand bag gets full of chushed dextrose. I will look out for them and let you know if I find them anywhere else.
Thank you.

Oh my, they sell 50 tablet pots as well?! I've not seen those! I will have to check Boots.

The tubes I use look like this - http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YwLOt93aL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
They are very handy! Fit in my medical kit bag very nicely! ^_^

I buy my Glucotabs from my local Asda - they stock them behind the pharmacy counter where the other controlled drugs are. They do large tubs so you can fill up your smaller tube rady for handbag or pocket. I think they are great as because they are in a tube they dont go powdery or grubby when not in use!

The first time I saw Glucotabs on sale they were on the counter in Boots, but not all branches sell them so I also enquired at a small local pharmacy where they didn't previously stock them and they looked them up in their catalogue and since then there are always some on the shelf. Most small pharmacies are very obliging!

I too discovered Glucotabs about 3 years ago and had lengthy conversations with the company saying they were great but virtually impossible to find in the South East area. I now get mine from my local chemist following the request for the 50 tab pot to continue replacing the tablets for my handbag sized pack. As I said to the company 3 years ago ..I want shares in the company because they are really a good product and container. Our local supermarkets do not stock the item...Sainsbury, and Tesco. One day maybe ...can I be a rep for the company.

Should have said local chemist is a group called Day Lewis

As most of the posters here, I also like the Glucotabs to deal with hypos (although Jelly babies also have their appeal ). When I started with them they were easy to find either at Boots or Superdrug. However, as already mentioned, they seemed to have been dropped by Boots. However, in the Superdrug store I go to, they still have them at the pharmacy counter (including the 50 tablets sized ones). Hope you can get them. Cheers
