What interval should be maintained between doses of Glucagon for patients across all weight categories?

The correct interval for administering glucagon, regardless of the patient's weight category, is 20 minutes. This timing allows sufficient time for the medication to take effect while also ensuring that additional doses can be provided if the patient's blood glucose levels are still critically low. Glucagon works to rapidly elevate blood glucose levels by promoting the breakdown of glycogen to glucose in the liver, but its effectiveness and the patient's response may vary.

Administering doses too closely together might not give the glucagon sufficient time to act, potentially leading to mismanagement of the patient's hypoglycemic condition. Therefore, adhering to the 20-minute interval ensures patient safety and effective treatment.
