Pekeyo,
I played 5 years of Varsity Soccer, 2 years of B-team basketball, 2 years of Junior Varsity basketball, and ran track during 8th grade. I lettered in each sport, every year I played. always had my stuff with me, just in case. You never know.
My suggestion is to get an extra meter and make it part of the teams medical kit. teach the team manager how to check sugars and also show the coach how to do it. They need to be aware of what's going on and what to do should they need to help you out. Past that, enjoy, play hard, and win!

The only thing to remember is to be careful about your checking during game time. I had to watch how I checked my sugar. You heartrate is elevated, and sometimes it won't stop bleeding. You don't want to freak people out for no reason. If they see you running around with blood dripping form your finger, they might stop the game and pull you.
Meech
