    hey bros,

    Just curious which one would be better for slin use?? I kno sucrose is in the blood pretty quick, and would probabally be less of a hassle to purchase unless of course u can get dextrose at the supermarket? In comparison which one is in the blood quicker?? thanks for your time

    dextrose(glucose) would reach the blood stream before sucrose.

    If you are using Insulin get some dextrose. Its very cheap and you should be able to get it from your local grocery store, or a health/nutrition shop. You can also buy it via the net.

    By the way, both sucrose and dextrose/glucose are almost the same. The important part is that they are both simple sugars and are easily digested. So effect wise, they are almost identical. However, they are still different. And the difference in the two is the way each one of them are structured, and the taste. Sucrose is 50% glucose and 50% fructose. Even though both sucrose and glucose are easily digested, glucose is absorbed directly, where as sucrose is first turned into glucose before absorption. So glucose gets in the blood quiker. So effect wise, glucose acts slightly faster than sucrose. I belive glucose is also less sweeter than sucrose. Hope that helped.
