Can you self-administer Gvoke?

Yes, Gvoke is approved for self-injection. The pre-filled auto-injector or pre-filled syringe is designed so a person with diabetes can give it to themselves during a severe low blood sugar episode when they can still follow instructions.

How quickly does it work if you inject it yourself?

Gvoke raises blood sugar within about 5 to 10 minutes after injection. Full recovery from severe hypoglycemia usually occurs within 15 to 20 minutes.

What happens if you can’t give it to yourself?

If confusion, seizure, or unconsciousness sets in, someone else must administer it. The device is also intended for use by caregivers or emergency responders when the patient cannot act.

Who makes Gvoke and is there a generic?
