Glucose elevating agents 

Glucose elevating agents are used to treat hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

In diabetics, hypoglycemia can occur as a result of too much insulin or diabetes medicine, not sufficient intake of food, or sudden increase in exercise without increasing the amount of food intake.

The most common glucose-elevating agents used to treat diabetic hypoglycemia are glucose (in the form of tablets or liquid) and glucagon injections when severe hypoglycemia occurs.

Glucose is used to treat very low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), most often in people with diabetes mellitus. glucose works by quickly increasing the amount of glucose in your blood. Glucose is also used to provide carbohydrate calories to a person who cannot eat because of illness, trauma, or other medical condition.

Glucagon. Glucagon is a hormone that your pancreas makes to help regulate your blood glucose (sugar) levels. Glucagon increases your blood sugar level and prevents it from dropping too low, whereas insulin, another hormone, decreases blood sugar levels.
