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 glucose meters are used to test blood sugar levels and will tell you if your level is below 70 mg/dL. If you do not have a blood sugar testing machine on hand and are experiencing signs or symptoms of low blood sugar, those symptoms may be enough to diagnose low blood sugar.
