Glucagon can be given by injection to restore blood glucose lowered by insulin (even in unconscious patients). It can increase glucose release from glycogen stores more than insulin can suppress it. The effect of glucagon is limited, so it is very important to eat a carbohydrate meal once the person has recovered enough to eat safely.
What else can I help you with?
How does the body control glucose?
The body releases hormones to maintain the blood-sugar concentration. Insulin encourages the muscle and liver to absorb an insoluble form of glucose (glycogen) if the concentration rises too much. If the level falls, a second hormone - glucagon - is secreted to revert glycogen back into glucose, and stimulates the blood to absorb it. This homeostatic balance is crucial to our survival, as too little and too much sugar in the blood can be dangerous.
