I really would like to do this but I guess it would be a little complicated. I'm on fiasp and I can take my insulin when starting a meal without the need to pre-bolus, so that's alright. I'm sure I can dial up and inject in the dark. Would be a bit awkward and I'll probably stab myself in my finger trying to get the cap back on but that's alright too.
I could of course ask them how many carbs there are in the food, but even if they know it wouldn't really help. I'm not much of a carb-counter, I'm rather an insulin-guesser and use previous experiences to guess after I've seen my food. Which I won't. Another complication is that I use my phone to scan my libre very often when eating new foods or eating out. Can't do that in the dark. Maybe I can do it under my jacket or something like that. And then guess the amount of insulin by taste.
Writing this I'm starting to look forward to it even more, I think it's doable
And I'll just keep extra sweets in my pocket and accept some funny blood sugars the rest of the evening!
Of course the question why I want to do this remains. Probably because I'm a stubborn idiot who has read somewhere that you can do anything with diabetes
