Glucagon is a rescue medication for severe hypoglycemia, particularly when a person is: Unconscious or unresponsive Having a seizure due to very low blood sugar Unable to safely swallow glucose, food, or liquids Unable to effectively treat their low blood sugar themselves Glucagon works by helping the liver release stored glucose into the bloodstream, which can help raise blood sugar during a severe hypoglycemic episode. After Administration After administering glucagon, follow the product instructions and the individual's diabetes emergency plan, including obtaining emergency medical assistance as directed. If the person is unconscious, position them on their side as directed because nausea and vomiting can occur after glucagon administration. Once the person is awake and able to safely swallow, follow their healthcare provider's instructions regarding oral carbohydrates and continued blood glucose monitoring.
