Sometimes, blood sugar levels can get very low and you might not feel well enough or be awake enough to eat or drink something sugary. When this happens, kids need to get a glucagon shot. Glucagon (say: GLOO-kuh-gon) is a hormone that helps get your blood sugar level back to normal very quickly.
How Low Can Your Blood Glucose Level Go Safely? Low blood sugar can result in weakness, confusion, headache, irritability, excessive hunger, excessive sweating or fatigue. The normal range of blood sugar is 80 - 120 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) in the morning (after fasting for at least 8 hours).
