The ADA recommends that a person take 15g of carbohydrates if there is a lowering in blood sugar. Since Dex4 glucose tablets each contain 4 grams of carbohydrates it is recommended that you take 3-4 tablets. This amount should be adjusted according to your age and body weight. Please consult with your healthcare team to determine the best serving size for you. If your blood sugar level is 50mg/dL or less, increase the dose to 20g. If after 15 minutes, the levels don’t balance out, repeat the process.
