Ogluo pen

[Trebor1961]

My daughter is 19 and we have been getting the Ogluo one shot Glucagon pen for about three years but it has apparently been discontinued in the UK.
We used to have the orange box Glucagon pen but these need mixing etc and my daughter’s workplace won’t administer these in case of emergency.
Can anyone suggest another “Epi-pen” style Glucagon pen which will be prescribed by the NHS.
Thank you
Trebor

you are best to speak to your Dr regarding this, or maybe a pharmacist

Has your daughter ever needed to have another person inject Glucagon during working hours? Now that we can get Libre or Dexcom sensors on prescription, it would be extremely unusual for a Type1 diabetic to have blood glucose drop so low as to need Glucagon injected.
