My son is 7 yrs old with type 1 diabetes. I love watching this video to give myself a reminder on how to correctly administer the glucagen injection.. just in case.. Many thanks Diabetes type 1 parent.
i've had to use this product several times as a diabetic. if you have ever needed to use one of these,then you know how bad a severe low blood sugar episode can be. it's really terrifying especially when you are alone. i thank God for people who make these types of things. i am 53.
For anyone watching this after 2020, please ask your HCP about ready to use options!! These kits, with trained AND untrained individuals, are only successfully administered 31% of the time, there are options in an autoinjector that anyone can use at a 99% success rate, these kits are being discontinued and not optimal for emergencies
what i don’t get is why you pushed it with air, and after you filled it up again. you injected it with air. i just want to remind you people to remember to empty it from air. then inject it
After she mixes the water with the powder, she turns the vial upside down, so water is at the bottom, and so only water and not air goes into the syringe. If you don't turn the vial upside down before refilling the syringe, then of course you will get air in your syringe.
It's not an IV - it's to go into your muscle to force an emergency temporary release of stored glucose in your body. The glucagon it releases will only last for so long.which is why you MUST eat something (lots of) sugary after coming round.... You need to teach someone else how to use it - as whilst you're OK, you can probably fix your own hypo.

The powder doesn't dissolve straight away so ensure that it dissolves before injecting into the muscle

Can this be given as IV too????

Its so scary as my husband has diabeties real bad
You forgot to shake
I noticed that too. But I’m assuming that the turning upside down served the same purpose .
A tiny bomb in the vial? Huh?
A tiny bung
