Hypoglycemia

Question from Singapore:

I am 14 years old with Type 1 diabetes and I was just wondering where glucagon should be injected. My mom said that it can be only injected in the butt. Is this true?

Answer:

From: DTeam Staff

It can be injected into any decent muscle mass: e.g., the upper arm or thigh (but the upper, outer buttock area is best).
