[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1513007, member: 265172"] I have had glucagon administered. Once I was at home and had gone on a long bike ride in the searing heat and come home and fallen asleep on the sofa. I was about 14 at the time. I don't remember having any hypo symptoms on that occasion - I thought I was just tired from cycling a long way - my mum was unable to rouse me and the doctor was called. On the other occasion I was living and working abroad and hadn't told anyone I was diabetic (yes, ridiculous!), and they called an ambulance, and the paramedics gave me glucagon. If your son is going to be very active I would suggest that the camp staff have access to glucagon and are made aware of how to use it. It comes with excellent instructions. In my experience both times I have become unconscious have been several hours after sustained periods of exercise, and I think I didn't realise I was dropping, just tired from the exercise. Both of these occasions were decades ago, at a time when I was habitually testing only before breakfast and supper. These days I test all the time, especially when exercising, and am fortunate in that I have excellent hypo symptoms which mean I am at much much less risk of unconsciousness as I can and do treat hypos myself with glucose. I hope your son enjoys day camp, [USER=393363]@Natt[/USER] . If it would set your mind at rest, then ask them to take the glucagon with them on excursions. If he's doing really really sustained and energetic activities then keep an extra eye on him when he gets home at the end of the day, as it is often many hours later that a sudden drop may happen. If he's testing regularly and he and the staff have access to glucose, I am pretty sure that the glucagon is not likely to be needed. But as I say, if it would set your mind at rest, do ask them to have it with them - the pack is neither big nor heavy. :) [/QUOTE]
