Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.

You should not take glucose tablets, liquid, or gel if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in these forms of the medicine.

If possible before you receive a glucose injection, tell your doctor if you have:

• diabetes (unless you are using this medicine to treat insulin-induced hypoglycemia);

• heart disease, coronary artery disease, or history of a stroke;

• asthma;

• kidney disease;

• a possible head injury;

• a history of alcoholism; or

• any food allergies.

Ask a doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

Since glucose is used when needed, it does not have a daily dosing schedule. Call your doctor promptly if your symptoms do not improve after using glucose.

Follow your doctor's instructions about any restrictions on food, beverages, or activity.
