You notice the following behaviors in a person:
- Lack of concentration
- The frequent need to urinate
- Flushed skin
- Blurred vision
- Nausea, and;
- Increased hunger.
WHAT ARE THE LIKELY CAUSES?
A) Happy hour turns into happy 3 hours
B) Bachelor party mayhem
C) Sunday afternoon at the Steelers bar
D) Hyperglycemia
E) All of the above
If you answered "E", you are correct! This person may have too much alcohol in his blood OR too much glucose.
Today, instead of teaching my rambunctious 5th graders, I became a rambunctious student myself. I took a seat inside a classroom and took a professional development class on diabetes and how to properly administer insulin and glucagon. The purpose? So that I can provide emergency medical services to students in the classroom, during recess, or on field trips. Who woulda thought how many hats teachers have to wear?
Each day, I learn a little more about how to be a good teacher. Today I learned that, if I have a student that has diabetes, I can identify that he has too much glucose in his blood if he looks like someone on gameday who has had one too many from the Tortoise and the Hare.
Speaking of which... HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
