Step 1 Glucagon emergency injection

This is an injection of glucagon that raises the level of glucose in the blood. Needs no refrigeration. The bright orange protective case makes it easy to travel with, and easy to find in an emergency. If you become hypoglycemic friends or family can give you this injection if you can’t take sugar by mouth

I'd also consider adding a breakfast bar or other source of long lasting carbohydrates.  I know that when I have a hypoglycemic emergency, I appear to get better with a small amount of glucose, but require a little more to keep me from keeling over fifteen minutes later.

Great idea, posting the directions for a standard "kit."  I think I'll put one together, along with a list of my medications, doctor's phone #, and an epi-pen, which I need for some scary allergic reactions.  Thanks for posting this terrific instructable.

Christos You should probably include at least one tube of glucose goo in your kit.  A conscious but confused patient may not be able to take a tablet (choking hazard), but would be safe with goo.

On your card you may want to print simple step by step instructions on how to administer glucose or glucagon.  I would start the instructions with "Call 911 and report a diabetic emergency". 

Just my 2 cents worth... :)

 I would add the text on the card "IF I  AM UNCONSCIOUS PLEASE DO NOT INJECT ME WITH INSULIN, IT CAN KILL ME" please give me sugar.

It really is amazing the amount of people who die from people who believe they are doing good by injecting people because they have a syringe on them.

Thats a great idea! 

I work in fire/ems and it's surprising how many people don't know how to react to hypoglycemia and want to inject the unconscious or severely confused victim with insulin.
