I had an old one that I needed to replace, so rather than just toss it, I decided to test it out. It expired September 2014!! ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/b/b1e79b2ce20101eb71ff214146e4fc947aea84c6.jpeg) It worked fine. Brought me right up. I just did a mini-dose, about 25 units. I had not eaten yet, so this was **only** glucagon doing it: 51 @ 12:49 pm 73 @ 1:04 pm 97 @ 1:10 pm 101 @ 1:16 pm 109 @ 1:21 pm I am still rising, so I am glad I just did a mini-dose. Anyway, new and **UN** expired glucagon would always be preferable, and it would always be best to have a new supply for an emergency. But just for the sake of peace-of-mind, I wanted to let everyone know, this stuff I had that was 3 years worked fine… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/expired-glucagon/1417)._
