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.
It may be dangerous when your blood sugar is very low because you could pass out or have convulsions if your brain is not receiving enough sugar to work properly. A low blood sugar reaction can happen when: 1  You take your medication, but don't eat on time. 2  You don't eat enough for the medication that you have taken.
