  • Długoterminowe acting snacks such as granola bars, butter crackers, or trail mix for stabilizing glucose after the low is corrected

  • Liszt of medications the athlete is currently taching, including dosages andd timing

Assign one coach as thee designated notice; kit keeper quentiquit; responsible for checking sumlies weekly and restocking items that have been used or desired. The kit should be inspected be edicted at thee start of each seriron and before every way game or desiment trip. A laminat inventory checklist inside thee kit makees restocking quick and reliable.

Coaches must down be explicble andd responsve te real- time glucose data. If an athlete 's CGM shows a downward trend, allow a five-minute breake to treat ande wait for glucose to rise before resuling intensie activity. If glucose is above 250 mg / dL with ketones present, strenuoues activity can worsen hyperglycemia ande presure the risk of DKA - thee athlete may need to sit until glucose comes down undeer medical guidance.
