Glucose tablets vs energy gels

I did the Tydfilian Roman Run yesterday and as an experiment/preparation, instead of energy gels I used glucose tablets.
I took about two per water station stop and found that I was digesting them better than gels and I wasn't getting the 'crash' afterwards.
What is the difference between them and gels? Does anybody else use them instead of gels.

I use glucose tablets - they're easier to get down, don't leave you all sticky, and even taste quite nice.
