A little update on this. I mixed the **expired** glucagon 5 days ago. It worked fine then. I tested it a day later, and it still worked.

So 5 days after mixing the glucagon, I did another test today. The same mini-dose I did before, 25 units (just 1/4 of the entire dosage you get in a glucagon kit), and it brought me up 89 points in just 30 minutes. That’s pretty consistent with day 2:

**2nd day after mixing:**  
**106** points in **35** minutes

**5th day after mixing:**  
**89** points in **30** minutes

Anyway, the point is, glucagon doesn’t seem to expire when the label says, and it works even up to 5 days after mixing. Maybe longer. I have a little left, I will try again in a few days…  
:guinea_pig:

**Funny to see, no doubt that 5 day old mixture is working:** 😉
