| Remember, when disconnecting that it can take 30-60 minutes before you even notice the change of it being disconnected. Then when you put it back on it takes the same amount of time to notice it working again. Therefore, say at the start of the game you disconnect, if the game is only say 2 hours long, it won't stop effecting you till halftime. Then, when you are done, if you reconnect, it won't be till an hour after that that it starts working. So, you'll have a delayed high.
A few options you have are to bolus 50% of what you would get in the next 30 minutes when you disconnect. Then, every 30 minutes test your BG, connect, and bolus. Unless you are Carson Palmer (and even he gets breaks) you won't play the entire game. Therefore you shouldn't have a problem testing and giving short boluses of insulin.
What sport do you play? That may help some too.
