Hi I'm new and my Names Melissa

Yesterday I was at this basketball camp thing for 4 hours so in the morning I cut my insulin back quite a bit but all through the day me blood sugars were low and wouldn't come up by the evening they have finally stayed up.
I was just wondering if this has ever happened to you and what you id. I am from canada so our numbers are a lot different so ya.:)

Thats happens during soccer practice for me. Have you tried having a snack before or drinking gatordade throughout? Are you on a pump? When did you cut back on your insulin?

Ya I usually eat a pretty big snack before and drink gatorade or powerade throughout practice, I am not on a pump and I cut back my Morning insulin the day of.

You could ask your endo about deceasing your Lantus(or whichever long acting you are on) the night before a long bbal day. Are you covering the snack at all? How much are you decreasing in the morning?
Here is what my clinic says about snacks for sports depending on your bg-
