That's an excellent product!!!! This isn’t medical advice, but I want to share how much Gü Gel with caffeine works wonders for me!
I've had juvenile insulin-dependent Type 1 diabetes since age 5, in 1984—survival depends on artificial insulin, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is part of the deal.
When Dex-4 Gels disappeared from my pharmacy (and they were sooooo pricey), I looked for an alternative and found that Gü Gel works even better than them—for half the price!
I find that they act faster than plain sugar, and the caffeine helps clear that weird brain buzz diabetics know all too well. I usually feel functional again within two minutes. One pouch (22g carbs, 20mg caffeine) is enough—sometimes even two-thirds of one does the trick. Diabetics, ya know what I’m talking about!!
I’m not affiliated with the store, but after trying a few places, I settled on BlackToe Running for their great prices, fast delivery, and solid customer service.
My doctor, who compliments how I manage my condition, said he’d mention it to other patients who are curious about alternatives. Again, not a medical endorsement—just a personal anecdote.
I also love how slim the pouch is: it fits in my back pocket without bulk. One tip though: I reuse the baggie of Medtronic Guardian stickers to carry it. The pouch is sturdy, but after a few weeks of keeping the same one in the back pocket of my jeans or work pants, it did tear a bit. Just once—but still worth mentioning.
Bonus: a sporty friend who doesn’t have diabetes also uses it and swears by it.
Great taste and fuels my run

I prefer these as they only have 6g of sugar. Tastes good. Easy to open.
Very good!
