Caregivers play an important role in managing a loved one’s diabetes

Make ZEGALOGUE® (dasiglucagon) injection part of a diabetes blood sugar management plan

Caring for a loved one with diabetes can be both rewarding and challenging. Your support is invaluable, especially when it comes to managing very low blood sugar.
