Everytime I walk past an NDSS pharmacy, I can’t help but saunter by and investigate the Diabetes shelves, in case they just happen to have something new and different. (Believe it or not, Lance and I actually get excited when we find a new product on the market..)
I ran my eye down the shelves dedicated to Diabetes.
Glucometers.
Glucometers.
Glucometers.
Lancets..Lancets..Lancets..
Electrode Strips.
Sharps Bins.
Glucose Tablets.
Ketone Stri…
Wait a second? Glucose Tablets? In a tube? That look identical to those that Liz ordered from the States!
And on closer inspection, OH MY STARS, THEY ARE!!!!!
FInally, Australia now has a distributor for the BEST glucose tablets thatLance ever used for treating severe hypos.
Previously, we were jumping up and down when we found out that Fifty50 Pharmacy in America had a variety of appealing flavours of glucose tablets, that really gave a pesky hypo a swift kick back up to Safe Mmol/L Land by the time the tablet had been absorbed!
Liz and I agreed that we would take it turns to order them from America, as it turned out to be an expensive exercise, with postage and currency conversion.
However…A Distributor in South Australia now has them stocked in NDSS pharmacies!
AND..it gets better! They are only $4.95 for a tube of 10!!!
I am currently trying to contact the distributor to see if other flavours can be ordered, because the day I clamped my eyes on that tube, I knew I needed to spread the word!!
Dex 4 Glucose Tablets are distributed by :
P.La Haybe Agency
5 Renown Ave, Seacliff Park
South Australia 5049.

I just wanted to let you know, that here in Canada you can obtain the larger refill bottle instead of the 10 packs. A bottle of 50 of these tablets (available in orange, raisin(grape), raspberry & watermelon) for only 12$ CAD.
it’s a great deal and cuts down on waste from packaging.
I use them to replenish energy reserves when cycling for long distances or periods of time. Especially when getting of the bike at the end of the day to refuel. I go through 1 or 2 tubes after a 75-100km ride. It helps cut down on recovery time between rides and helps with muscle fatigue over long term.
Hope that helps!
