The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a study drug called nasal glucagon (Baqsimi) in pediatric participants with type 1 diabetes (T1D) aged 1 to less than 4 years. Blood tests will be performed to check how much nasal glucagon gets into the bloodstream. Blood sugar will also be measured to understand the effect of the drug on blood sugar levels. The study consists of a screening period up to 35 days before dosing, 1 day when a dose of nasal glucagon will be given and then 2 telephone follow up calls; first follow-up call on the day after the nasal glucagon was given and second call about one week after nasal glucagon was given.
Participants must have type 1 diabetes for at least 6 months
Participants must be taking insulin through injection or by insulin pump<
Participants must be able to tolerate removal of blood from vein by use of catheter during the dosing visit
Participants must have general good health
Participants must have parents/guardian who are able to measure blood glucose using a blood glucose meter or report measurements from a continuous glucose monitor on the night before and morning of the dosing visit
Participants must not have allergy or very sensitive to glucagon or other drug allergies
Participants must not have nutritional disorders or other illness that limits their ability to eat carbohydrates (foods with sugar)
Participants must not have nasal obstruction or structural nasal restriction
Participants must not have laryngopharyngeal reflux
Participants must not have a history of epilepsy or seizures
Participants must not have a recent history of very low blood glucose level

With the help of research study participants, we are learning about pediatric conditions and potential new approaches to treating disease.
