Do your energy gels contain sodium?

I have this layer of energy gel deposited around my midriff, so I don't usually partake in extra energy. So I don't know too much about them.

A doctor and I were discussing glucose absorbtion in diabetics and how similar it was to cyclists. He said sodium aids the absorbtion of glucose while still in the mouth.
