Increlex (mecasermin) has a similar effect to insulin where it can lower your child’s blood sugar. Because of this, your child needs to eat within 20 minutes of the injection (either before or after) so their blood sugar won’t drop too low.

Ask your child’s provider to instruct you on what to do in case your child’s blood sugar drops too low. Make sure you and your child can recognize symptoms of low blood sugar, including dizziness, feeling anxious, or feeling irritable. Have your child carries some kind of fast-acting sugar, such as glucose gel, hard candy, or juice with sugar in it, with them at all times. Call 911 if your child passes out from low blood sugar.

Skip the dose Increlex (mecasermin) if you know your child won’t be able to eat either 20 minutes before or after a meal or a snack. If you give the dose of Increlex (mecasermin) and your child doesn’t eat within 20 minutes, monitor them for symptoms of low blood sugar, such as feeling faint, shaking, and sweating, and treat your child’s low blood sugar right away. If their symptoms don’t improve, call 911.
