Abstract

Glucagon is critically underutilized, and we explored whether this is due to inadequate glucagon prescribing or the patient's inability to fill prescriptions. Of 216 commercially insured, high-risk individuals with diabetes who were prescribed glucagon in our healthcare system, 142 (65.4%) had a claim indicating its fill within 30 days.
