Please be advised that Glucagon is in the process of being discontinued and is being replaced by Baqsimi, a new inhaled product used for treating severe low blood sugar in students with diabetes.

Unlike Glucagon, Baqsimi does not require yearly hands-on training. Staff supporting students prescribed Baqsimi can update their knowledge by watching a brief video and reviewing usage with families during the setup of the Diabetes Support Plan and Medication Administration Form for the school year.

If any students at your school are still using the traditional Glucagon product, please reach out to Island Health lindsay.mccue@islandhealth.ca

Thank you for your attention to this update.
