Sports endocrinology holds a unique importance in understanding and optimizing an active and healthy lifestyle. Active patients with diabetes will need to consider modifying medications, especially insulin. The use of the dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and Fracture Risk Assessment Tool scores is important as both initiate and monitor bone health treatment.

Performance agents are popular and have made their way into recreational sports.
