We want to lose weight quickly, without effort and sacrifice. We think that everything about weight loss has already been invented, that nothing else will help us. And yet, new methods of losing weight are multiplying like mushrooms after rain. One of them is the use of glucose sprays. The research results are promising.

Endocrine published the results of a study that validated the hypothesis that administering small amounts of glucose using an oral spray device enables weight loss in overweight and obese people. Before the research, patients have already started to change their lifestyle in order to reduce body weight. The glucose spray was therefore a weight loss aid, and not the only remedy for overweight.
The oral spray device (GSD) delivers approximately 50 mg of glucose to the oral mucosa in one puff.
56 people participated in the study, 32 of them were randomly assigned to the study group, and 24 – to the control group. All people from both groups received a 1500 kcal slimming diet program, in addition, they were imposed a minimum duration of weekly physical activity – 150 minutes. The Observation Time was 60 days. The test group received 10 strokes of the oral spray device during the early symptoms of neuroglycopenia.
Neuroglycopenia is a group of neurological symptoms caused by a drop in blood glucose below 55 mg / dL. Symptoms, depending on the level of sugar reduction, take the form of: intellectual impairment, impaired coordination of movements, irritability, convulsions.
A mean weight loss of 3,5 ± 3,0 kg was observed in the group treated with the oral spray device and 1,7 ± 2,1 kg in the control group. Significant differences in favor of the study group were also noticed in the reduction of BMI and waist circumference.
Researchers found that a short-term glucose spray, in conjunction with diet and exercise, can be very helpful in improving weight loss and reducing waistlines in overweight and obese people. Of course, more research is needed.
