Eli5 What is glucagon and how does it work?
In: 1
It’s a type of sugared jel that’s used to counteract very low blood sugars. It melts very quickly and is absorbed into the blood stream thriugh the muscus membranes in your mouth to increase blood sugar. Very low blood sugar can kill you and using juice or candy is not always possible if they’re almost unconscious as they may be unable to swallow and glucagon doesn’t require you to swallow.
