If he's already done lots of basal testing, he should be fine. If not, he may trend high or low as time goes by. I assume he can handle either. If it were me, I'd test every two hours or less.

If he has basal tested, he should watch for unexpected basal dumps and for the opposite, body shutdowns.

I think it will be a very worthwhile event for him on many levels.
