Hi all, can anyone get the gluco tab brand of glucose tablets anymore? I can only get Lift tablets which I dont like as much. Or can anyone recommend nicer tasting glucose tablets?

Glucotabs changed to Lift, doubt you'd get any now unless someone has old stock.

I have the Dextro ones. If you buy them online you get a much better choice of flavours, eg blackcurrant, tropical, natural, blueberry, etc. I don’t like the Lift tablets either but their glucose shots are good and fast-acting. Expensive but often on offer.
 
I use GlucoTabs/Lift. There are some nasty flavours but I am ok with the raspberry ones. I always buy these in bulk from eBay. I did not notice the taste changed when the name changed.
Have you tried using something else? Jelly babies are so popular they have their own abbreviation (JB) on diabetes fora.
