Interaction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans..

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's something worth understanding about this pairing. Dasiglucagon (Zegalogue) is actually the opposite of most diabetes medicines. Instead of lowering blood sugar, it's an emergency rescue medication that tells your liver to dump stored sugar into your blood to pull you out of a dangerous low. So the concern with blueberry isn't about it building up the drug or blunting it during an emergency.

The interaction on file is really about blueberry's own blood sugar lowering effect, which has only been seen in lab and animal studies, not in people. In theory, a concentrated blueberry leaf extract might nudge blood sugar down a touch, but everyday blueberries as food are very unlikely to matter. None of this should stop you from keeping your Zegalogue ready for an emergency. If you use high-dose extracts, just mention it to your pharmacist.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Dasiglucagon Hydrochloride page

“Dasiglucagon (Zegalogue) is an emergency injection that rapidly raises blood sugar during a severe diabetic low, so a supplement list this large deserves genuine care. All 239 interacting ingredients act through blood glucose, and most of them lower it, deepening the very crashes this drug exists to reverse.”

About Blueberry

What is Blueberry?

  • Antioxidant support
  • Heart health
  • Brain and memory health
  • Blood sugar support
  • Eye health
  • Urinary health

Blueberries are a nutritious fruit rich in antioxidants called anthocyanins, and eating them as part of a balanced diet is healthy and safe for most people. Concentrated supplements are marketed for heart, brain, and blood sugar health, but the evidence is mostly early and not strong enough to promise specific benefits. Enjoy blueberries as food, and talk to your pharmacist before using high-dose extracts.

About Dasiglucagon Injection

What Is Dasiglucagon Injection Used For?

Brand name: Zegalogue

Zegalogue (dasiglucagon) is used to treat severe hypoglycemia — dangerously low blood sugar — in adults and children aged 6 years and older who have diabetes. It is a rescue medication meant to be used in emergencies when a person cannot eat or drink to raise their blood sugar on their own.

Zegalogue is available as a subcutaneous (under-the-skin) injection and is given by a caregiver or the patient themselves as soon as severe hypoglycemia is recognized. Emergency medical help should be called immediately after using it.
