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.
Blood Sugar. Normal blood sugar should range from 80 to 100 mg/dL. Low blood sugar occurs when your blood glucose drops below 70 mg/dL. The hormone insulin helps maintain your blood glucose. After you eat, your blood sugar increases and your body secretes insulin to bring your blood sugar back to normal.
