Use Insulin? Have Glucagon<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Glucagon is the emergency rescue medication used if a person taking insulin has very low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and requires help from others to prevent deterioration or in response to passing out.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

People who use insulin should also have glucagon on hand just in case, especially if you are prone to \u201clows\u201d. The catch is, if you are the person experiencing the low and having difficult or even passed out, that means you need a caregiver or friends who know how to help you! To be ready ahead of time, make sure a family member, caregiver or friends knows where you keep this medication and how to use it.<\/h3>\n
