Do blood sugar support gummies contain sugar?
Many gummies do, because the chewy base needs a sweetener. Always read the Supplement Facts and the "other ingredients" list.
A product sold for blood sugar that adds sugar to the base defeats its own purpose. Look for grams of total and added sugar, not only the word "sugar-free".
Glyco Defender is not a gummy. It lists 0 calories per 1 mL. Its other ingredients are water, natural flavors, potassium sorbate, stevia, xylitol and citrus extract. Stevia is sold as a sweetener (FDA, Aspartame and Other Sweeteners). Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is dangerous to dogs (FDA, Paws Off Xylitol).
What should you check on a gummy label?
Check four lines: serving size, sugar, the amount of each active, and any proprietary blend.
A bottle of 30 gummies with a two-piece serving lasts 15 days.

How do gummies, drops and capsules compare on dose and sugar?
They differ most in sweetener, serving size and how easy the dose is to measure.
| Form | Sugar | Serving | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gummies | Often added | Usually 2 or more pieces | Servings per bottle |
| Capsules | Usually none | 1 to 4 capsules | Fillers and large pill counts |
| Glyco Defender drops | 0 calories listed | 1 mL (one dropperful) | Xylitol and dogs; hidden blend amounts |
Dose is where all three can fail. Chromium studies used 200 to 1,000 mcg a day (NIH ODS, Chromium). One Glyco Defender dropper has 7 mcg. Any form can sound strong while holding little.

See packsWhich costs less per day, blood sugar support gummies or drops?
Cost per day is price divided by days in the bottle. For Glyco Defender it is $89 over 30 days, about $2.97, or about $1.63 on the 6-bottle pack ($294).
Do the same sum for any gummy. Divide the price by servings, not by pieces. A cheap bottle with a two-piece serving can cost more than it looks.
Our drops vs capsules page goes deeper. Whatever the form, no supplement treats diabetes (NCCIH, Diabetes and Dietary Supplements). Ask a doctor or pharmacist before adding one, and keep taking prescribed medicine.
Is a dropper bottle the better choice for you?
It may be, if you want no sugar in the base and a once-a-day measure. The 60-day money-back guarantee lets you test the habit.
Three bottles are $177, about $1.97 a day. Six are $294, about $1.63 a day. There is no subscription.

FAQ01
Gummy and drop questions
Are sugar-free gummies safe for blood sugar?
Not automatically. Sugar-free gummies can still use sugar alcohols or other sweeteners, and some have starches. Check total carbohydrate on the panel. A product with no sugar still does not treat diabetes, so ask your clinician before you rely on it.
Do Glyco Defender drops contain xylitol?
Yes. Xylitol is one of the listed other ingredients, with stevia and water. It is safe for most people but dangerous to dogs, where it can drop blood sugar within 10 to 60 minutes. Keep the bottle out of a dog's reach.
Is it easier to take drops than gummies?
Many people find one dropperful simpler than counting several pieces. Glyco Defender is a single 1 mL serving a day, placed in the mouth or added to water. Shake the bottle first, as the label says.
