About Ogluo®:

Ogluo® is a ready-to-use, ambiently stored, preparation of glucagon in an auto-injector for patients within the licenced indication living with diabetes suffering from severe hypoglycaemia1. Hypoglycaemia is a common and serious complication of diabetes, particularly affecting people with diabetes on insulin treatment. It is characterised by abnormally low blood sugar levels, which can lead to cognitive impairment and in some severe cases, seizures, loss of consciousness, coma and even death. It can have a profound effect on the everyday lives of people with diabetes and their caregivers2. The European Commission granted the marketing authorization for Ogluo® on 11 February 2021.
