Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients (or parents) may wish to ask their doctor the following questions about glucagon:

1. Am I (or is my child) at risk of hypoglycemia and insulin shock? Should glucagon be prescribed?
   
   
2. Should I carry a glucagon kit with me at all times, or keep a kit at each place I spend a lot of time (home, work, school, etc.)?
   
   
3. At what level of hypoglycemia should glucagon be administered?
   
   
4. What is the glucagon dosage for me (or my child)?
   
   
5. How is glucagon administered? What sort of training is available?
   
   
6. Should 911 be called and anything else be done when glucagon needs to be administered?
   
   
7. Who should be trained in when and how to administer glucagon – relatives, friends, coworkers, teachers, coaches, school bus drivers, etc.?
   
   
8. If I need to be treated with glucagon, what can I expect afterward?
   
   
9. How often should I replace my glucagon kit?
   
   
10. When should glucagon not be used?
    
    
11. How can I reduce my risk of needing a glucagon shot?
    
    
12. Is it safe for me to have x-rays or other tests that use glucagon?
