"Politics of Glucagon Rescue" Is this really a political issue, per se? Not only does the subsequent text not support this being political, but the tone sounds much like advocacy. I sympathize with the writer; it certainly seems like glucagon administration ought to be taught like other life-saving measures. But perhaps this could be reworded, and possibly additional citations supplied. Druep (talk) 00:37, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Section on Instructions - I'm not sure I see the utility in an entire descriptive section pertaining to the way the instructions are formatted and placed in the package. I will see if I can find citations for this purported controversy. If not, I will edit to remove it unless someone jumps in with a better idea.

Instructions deleted

Wikipedia is not a "how-to" guide. I have deleted the following instructions from the article. Axl ¤ [Talk] 14:24, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The instructions for using the emergency glucagon rescue kit can be simplified to the four essential steps as shown in the pictures inside the box cover.

  1. open the vial by breaking off the plastic cap from the glucagon vial,
  2. inject the diluting solution into the vial of dry glucagon by first removing the cover from the syringe needle, and then injecting the diluting fluid from the syringe into the glucagon vial,
  3. swirl or shake to mix by withdrawing the syringe from the vial and swirl or shake slowly by hand until the white glucagon powder is dissolved in the fluid,
  4. inject the glucagon mixture by reinserting the needle back into the vial and drawing the glucagon mixture back into the syringe, and then injecting into the unconscious person's leg or abdomen muscle: the dosage is approximately half (Lilly kit: 500 µg; Novo Nordisk kit 0.5ml) for small children and approximately all (Lilly kit: 1000 µg; Novo Nordisk kit 1ml) for larger children and adults. Roll the unconscious person onto their side in case they vomit upon recovery, and then wait for the glucagon to take effect.
