1/8/2014 Glucose Metabolism during Complications Exercise  In 2004:  70% of all diabetes related deaths were due to cardiac disease  16% of all diabetes related deaths were due to stroke  Insulin is suppressed → More glucose released from liver  Risk of stroke or heart disease is 4 x higher in diabetics  #1 cause of blindness in the US  Muscles = ↑ sensitivity to insulin = more efficient glu uptake into muscle  #1 cause of kidney failure  > 200,000 people a year are on dialysis b/c of diabetic nephropathy  Blood glucose levels decrease  70% of diabetics have neuropathy  #1 cause of atraumatic amputations in the US Glucose Metabolism The Diabetic Athlete a fte r Exercise  One Athletes Story  Insulin levels rise → Excess glucose gets stored in muscle and fat. Diabetes – so what?  A 16yo high school female soccer player and T&F athlete presents for her annual examination and reports feeling well except for increased burning with urination and some urinary frequency over the past 5 days.  Her physical examination is unremarkable and her vital signs, including her blood pressure are within normal limits.  She submits a urine sample 4

1/8/2014 Insulin Treatment • Multiple Daily injections (MDI)  Exercise is Medicine:  Improves glucose metabolism  Improves insulin sensitivity  Can reduce the use of PO medications and insulin  Participation in team sports = ↓ Macrovasc complication and ↓ mortality * * LaPorte et al.

1/8/2014 Common Problems Encountered with The PPE Diabetic Athletes  “ Medical ”  “ Orthopedic ”  Physical examination should include:  Hypoglycemia  Fascial Disease  Immediate  Delayed  Adhesive Capsulitis Complication Examination  Hyperglycemia  Tendon pathology  Ketoacidosis Brain Cognitive evaluation  Proliferative Retinopathy  Flexor tenosynovitis Heart Complete cardiovascular examination  Nephropathy  Peripheral Neuropathy  Nerve entrapments PVD Peripheral pulses Eyes Dilated ophthalmologic exam annually Kidneys Urinalysis to assess proteinuria annually Nerves Monofilament and reflex exam Pre-participation Considerations Hypoglycemia  Typically only happens to patients who take insulin  ADA guidelines recommend screening for diabetic  Exercise is the #1 cause complications before participation  Diabetic athletes should wear MedicAlert bracelet • ↑ Absorption of insulin during exercise • ↑ Sensitivity to insulin during exercise • Exogenous insulin does Not decrease during exercise like endogenous insulin does Hypoglycemia Acute Complications  Hypoglycemia  Symptoms occur with blood glucose < 70mg/dL  Symptoms:  Hyperglycemia  Tachycardia  Sweating  Palpitations  Hunger  Anxiety  Headache / dizziness  Blurred vision, seizure, coma 7

1/8/2014 Hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia  Treatment = PREVENT IT  Insulin Adjustments → Blood Glucose Monitoring  Insulin Pump:  ↓ basal rate by 20-50% 1hr before exercise → Carbohydrate supplementation  ↓ Bolus by 50% at meal preceding exercise  Disconnect pump at exercise onset → Insulin Adjustments  Multiple Daily injector  Treatment = Give Glucose!  ↓ Bolus by 50% at meal preceding exercise Hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia Mild Hypoglycemia Athlete following commands 10-15g of glucose tablets or honey  Blood Glucose monitoring Re-check blood glu in 15 mins  Before Exercise : 2-3 times to check the trend → levels <70mg/dL = Postpone exercise 10-15g of glucose tablets or  During exercise: q 30 mins honey  After: q 2 hrs x 2 to check for Post-Exercise hypoglycemia Glucagon Hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia  Carbohydrate Supplementation  Pre-Exercise → Carb rich meal 2-4 hours before exercise. → Additional 15-30g of Carbs within 1 hour of Severe Hypoglycemia exercise Athlete unable to follow  During → Additional 30-100g for every hour of exertion commands  Post → 1.5g/Kg of CHO per hour x 4 hours → Restart insulin at this meal Glucagon 8

1/8/2014 Hyperglycemia  1 – Under-insulinization ↓ Insulin = ↑ Hepatic Glucose production Normal Glucose Metabolism Hyperglycemia Hyperglycemia  2 - Hormones Why would an athlete get HYPER glycemic? ↑ Catecholamine ↓ Muscle ↑ FFAs HIE = = = ↑ Blood Glu utilization of glucose ↑ Ketones Hyperglycemia Hyperglycemia  3 - Psychological Stress Typically occurs with High-Intensity Exercise (70% VO2 max or >85% MHR) ↑ Counterregulatory ↑ Stress = = ↑ Blood Glu hormones * Insulin mgmt strategies from practice may not work on game day 9
