Does Hypoglycemia or Hyperglycemia Call for shots?

I really need to know!

Generally, hyperglycemia as would be found in either Type I diabetes or Type II diabetes would necessitate injections, possibly multiple times daily.
Very occasionally, a diabetic would have an extremely low bloodsugar or hypoglycemia, where his physician would tell him to take a glucagon injection to raise a dangerously low sugar, rather than drinking a small amount of orange juice. This would be highly unusual. Many diabetics have injected glucagon only once throughout being diabetic and many not at all.
The likelihood is that HYPERGLYCEMIA is the reason for multiple injections.
Best wishes.
