Great idea. And maybe - if you feel comfortable with this - put all the directions on paper in detail and see if you can get anyone to practice testing and injecting you during your normal testing/dosing routine. Having the instructions written out for me in great detail and practicing a few times with my D-I-L watching over me finally made me able to babysit for my grandson alone, without fear.I second that, and in addition I would get 4-5 people (athletes/coaches) together and tell them how to help you if your blood sugar is too high/too low - where to find things in your bag, how to measure bg, how to tell if bg is too high/too low, etc. This might help you more in an emergency than waiting for an ambulance because nobody knows how to help you. A close friend might be able to tell more subtle changes, but if he/she is not there and something happens it's always nice to have a backup-plan.
