Contraindications of Glucose D Powder

Side Effects of Glucose D Powder

Side effects are generally related to the rapid sugar intake.

• Common Side Effects (Mild and Expected): Temporary feelings of high blood sugar, such as a sugar rush, followed by a sudden crash. Excessive, regular consumption may lead to weight gain.
• Serious but Rare Side Effects (that may require medical attention):
  • Severe Hyperglycaemia: Dangerously high blood sugar levels, especially in undiagnosed or poorly managed diabetic patients.
  • Allergic Reactions: Rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing.

What to do if side effects occur:

• If you experience symptoms suggesting high blood sugar (excessive thirst, frequent urination) or a severe allergic reaction, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician.
• Consume the powder strictly within the recommended serving size to avoid excess calorie intake and potential weight gain.

Precautions and Warnings of Glucose D Powder

• Diabetes: Crucial Warning: This product contains nearly pure glucose and can rapidly raise blood sugar. Diabetics should only consume this for emergency management of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) under strict medical guidance.
• Teeth: Frequent consumption may lead to tooth decay due to the high sugar content. Use sparingly and maintain good oral hygiene.
• Swallowing: It is not recommended to consume the powder dry as it can cause choking and irritation. Always dissolve it completely in water before drinking.
• Storage: Always store the powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture ingress, which can cause clumping and spoilage.
