I went out for dinner and seriously overestimated carbs when bolusing, so kept treating and crashing for over an hour.

I went rapidly low about 2 a.m., waking up at 76 on my CGM with that “thumpy” heartbeat feeling. I shoved in glucose tabs until I just couldn’t because I rapidly became nauseous.

The Gvoke HypoPen autoinjector is now available in the US. I hope Xeris will launch it in Europe soon as well. This would be such a major improvement over the current cumbersome glucagon kits.

This glucagon is stable in solution (so can be used in a dual-solution insulin/glucagon pump). Published in July 2018: I think this was a Phase I trial.

It didn’t occur to me during the night – I was too busy consuming two tubes of glucose tabs, plus juice boxes and cookies – but it looks like the ideal time to have tried a micro-dose of glucagon.

I have a "Lilly 1mg Glucagon Emergency kit" that expired April 2017. Visually it appears OK, the powder in the bottle is still dry, the fluid in the plunger is still clear.

All these hypokits still have powdered glucagon that needs to be dissolved shortly before use, because liquid glucagon isn’t stable.
