• Identify early and late signs of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia in students.
• Demonstrate appropriate initial management and reassessment of common diabetes emergencies in the school setting, including rapid acting therapies like glucagon and fast-acting carbs. 
• Differentiate which presentations require immediate escalation of care either through EMS or alternate transportation.
• Describe the scope of diabetes emergency interventions available at different EMS levels (BLS vs. ALS). 
• Apply emergency medicine decision-making to school-based scenarios by prioritizing interventions, communicating with caregivers/EMS, and determining when it is safe to return to class vs. seeking to higher care.
