A member asked:

Can people with low blood sugar inject glucagon?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If conscious: Glucagon treatment is reserved for our patients on insulin. They can only self inject if they're conscious. It would be a last resort treatment for very low blood sugar because of side effects. Typically our patient families use it only when their child with diabetes is unconscious from hypoglycemia because oral treatment would be contraindicated.
