Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology and Sports Medicine
  • Metabolic Disorders in Athletes

Background:

  • Millions of Americans experience glucose regulation issues, including diagnosed diabetes and undiagnosed disorders.
  • Athletic trainers frequently encounter individuals with varying glucose regulation statuses.
  • Understanding glucose-related emergencies is vital for athletic healthcare providers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define three critical glucose emergencies: diabetic ketoacidosis, diabetic hyperosmolar state, and hypoglycemia.
  • To outline the treatment protocols for each condition.
  • To highlight key signs and symptoms for differentiating these emergencies in athletic populations.

Main Methods:

  • Review of medical literature on glucose regulation disorders and emergencies.
  • Focus on clinical presentation, signs, and symptoms relevant to athletic trainers.
