Firefighter Friday in our Sports Medicine
“Firefighter Greg” with the Austin Fire Department visited our class for the third time this year, this time to teach our future athletic trainers about diabetic emergencies. Before his lesson he checked his blood sugar in class then drank a sugary drink. Throughout the lesson he checked his blood sugar every 5 minutes to show how quickly it increased, by how much, and for how long, until it started to come back down. He also brought a sample of glucose that they give patients that are experiencing a diabetic emergency for each of them to taste, it was not a fan favorite! Our class always looks forward to our Fridays with “Firefighter Greg”!
