Does anyone know what the relationship is between the stall speed of an aircraft (in any given configuration) and it's best glide speed in that configuration?

Assuming that they were at approach speed (Vref +5, say), and knowing that Vref is something like 1.23 VS for a given configuration I am interested to know whether in theory the aircraft should have been accelerated by pitching down to extend the glide.

Interesting though it is, I do not want to go through the discussions about configuration changes.

Thanks for any input.
