splenda is maltodextrin. couple scoops on some oats, add some cinnamon, sliced almonds. hits the spot!!

couple scoops of splenda?

two things:

1. that would be VERY sweet
2. Not enough malto for what you are after, your typical male will need some 50grs carbs when cutting, 100grs when bulking. Imagine 50 grs of splenda, probably the whole box

are the glucose tabs any good?? and how many pills or mg do i take?

You know glucose tabs have to work. They are designed for diabetics. My wife is a diabetic, so I know this info first hand. They come in fruit punch, orange, tropical fruits, and they now have sour apple I have seen. In a roll there are 10 I believe. I usually buy a bottle, Wal Mart has them, I would have to look at my bottle(in my bag in the car), but I believe it is 50 and around 4 bucks. It normally takes 4 they recommend for a diabetic, how many you take will be dependent on your pwo needs.

You can have a slower reaction(blood sugar rise) by for instance sucking on them rather than chewing them up real fast. Doing this will create a rapid rise of course.

Oats will not work well in pwo as per they are low on the GI index and will not be absorbed rapidly

As for why to use Dextrose & Maltodextrin here is a good read:
