أم طفل سكري تتعلم حقن الجلوكاجون. متى تستخدمه؟

A mother of a diabetic child is learning glucagon. When should she use it?

1. Routinely before sport to prevent hypoglycaemia
2. For any glucose reading below 100 mg/dL before school
3. Instead of insulin on sick days
4. If unconscious or unable to swallow when low

Answer: D) If unconscious or unable to swallow when low. Glucagon is for severe hypoglycaemia with unconsciousness or inability to swallow; place the child on the side as vomiting may occur, then give food once awake.
