Question

You are the healthcare provider at a local college. Kelly is a cross country runner for the school. The coach, Jack, has mentioned that Kelly was 5 minutes late last week to every practice, and he has complained that Kelly seems to have low energy lately. Today, a teammate of Kelly's ran to Jack claiming that Kelly looks like she may pass out during the warm up. Upon arrival to her location on the course, Kelly is sitting on the ground, pale, sweating profusely, and although conscious, she appears a bit unfocused. Jack has a soft drink with him and gave it to Kelly to perk up. Kelly has a heart rate of 125, and she states that she feels twitchy, nauseated, and anxious. Using a glucometer, it is determined that her blood sugar is 50. When you arrive, you ask to see the soft drink that Jack gave to Kelly. It was a sugar-free soft drink. Kelly's teammates tell you that Kelly has been skipping breakfast in order to arrive on time lately. Why did Kelly not respond better after she drank the soft drink? What next steps should be taken? Do you need to summon an ambulance? Why.
