The Glucagon injection is a needle that should be administered to a diabetic who is experiencing hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is when a diabetic’s blood sugar drops very low and they pass out or become unconscious. The word “glucagon” refers to a hormone produced by the pancreas to raise a very low blood sugar. A glucagon injection should ONLY BE USED if a diabetic’s blood sugar is very low and they are passed out or unresponsive. Otherwise if the diabetic is responding with a low blood sugar then treat the sugar with a juice box. (A blood sugar below 70 is considered low)
This is a picture of the Glucagon injection in the case it comes in. On the right is the needle, and on the right is the vile full of glucagon.
This is a picture of the syringe out of the case.
