It is a similar concern.  I had asked about having a way to provide glucose
in case of extreme emergency.  They make a kit for injecting something
called glucagon which gives your blood glucose a nearly instant kick.  I've
never actually seen one, so I started looking around the web and found the
specs from Lilly who manufactures (apparently) the drug and markets a kit.
The process is very much like giving an insulin injection; however, they may
make a pin system as well.  There is some mixing which must be done
immediately before the injection is given, so that might make it difficult
to manufacture a ready-to-shoot version.  I'm still checking and would be
interested if anyone on the list could explain further.  Don't assume that I
know anything (smile).

A comment you gave if I understood correctly, is the doctor was 
concerned about you helping your wife?
Is this with drawing up the insulin and giving the shot?
I have to say I don't know how to do this either, where I would have to 
learn for myself if I needed to do so.
Now my question since I am also a total, since the diabetic coordinator 
believes in me, then can teach me how to do what I need to do, I know 
you can do the same thing.
Mike, anyone, is there a pin out there as is with my humolog that this 
gentleman can use for his wife?
Can they ask to switch to a pin so he just needs to turn to the units?
Even if the wife knows how to do what she does, she can't do it in a 
problem where she doesn't know what is up.
Just thought I would ask.
