Oral Glucose for Hypoglycemia
Adult dosing has a median of 15000 mg across 129 published protocols, with the middle half between 15000 and 15000.
Doses far off from what other protocols give are likely misreads, so they are left out until checked. How that works.

Values in mg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a medication five times still gets one vote.
