| Our CDA has confidence in him and thinks he should go for it but her concern is starvation ketones in the event the juice isn't enough to meet his energy needs. She's advising him to check ketones as well as BG every 4 hours or as needed.
We'll check in with the supervising teacher to make sure the juice is available freely and that they understand he will be bringing glucose tabs and some "real" food just in case he needs it. He'll also have a cell phone so if he gets into trouble and needs to bail we'll come get him.
I'm not too worried about the exhaustion from the all-nighter -- he's done that before! -- and at least he's not likely to sleep long enough to have a low in his sleep.
