[QUOTE="Riesenburg, post: 389443, member: 41402"] I wouldn't say it's essential, usually when you get to the point where an ambulance is called the paramedics give you a glucagon shot. Causes the liver to release the glycogen/sugar reserves out into the blood stream to get you out of the hypo. It's an intra-muscular injection which can make it a bit more tricky to give than an insulin one. I only got mine 2 years ago when I was having a lot of uncontrollable hypos (about 8 a day!). Also something to keep in mind although it is very rare it is possible to have an allergic reaction to glucagon injections. [/QUOTE]
