He is back from the game. It actually went surprisingly well, as all of our bets paid off: ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/1X/485aae59bf521240d6dbb7d15841a07ebba4373b.jpg) - the peak was as high as expected, and no higher – that was lucky. We used 2U instead of 4.5U to underdose as explained in OP - BG started coming down with exercise and insulin right at the same time as pre-game practice was starting. Note that insulin was not enough to make it drop (should have started dropping around 12:45) - He did not need any glucose during the game – although I find his decision not to take glucose at 1/2 time questionable. - BG gracefully went down and landed perfectly right after the game with a 10 carb glycogen replenishment right at the end of the game. One lesson out of today is that a hormone peak can actually replenish glucose during sports. Normally, my son needs to take glucose multiple times during a game. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/hormone-peak-right-before-a-game/771)._
