📋Overview
Glucagon is a hormone-based medication that raises blood sugar levels by stimulating the liver to release stored glucose. It is commonly associated with the management of severe low blood sugar, particularly in people with diabetes. Glucagon is also used in certain diagnostic procedures involving the digestive system. Its effects are rapid and can be critical in emergency situations involving hypoglycemia.
