Answer
I am diabetic too, and I know it's super hard to eat out or on the go because you don't know what it put in the food, and I just recently found out and it's been hard to figure out the amounts I need to balance everything since I love sugar and carbs! The best tip is to replace your favorites with diabetic things. Now when I bake cookies, instead of sugar I use apple sauce or splenda for example.
I bought an Atkins cookbook since they are lower in carbs but it's not the unhealthy junk the media portrays it to be, not just bacon, steak, and hot dogs.
You can make him healthy meals and freeze them in little tupperwares so he can heat them up in a microwave at a truckstop or in the truck if he has one.
Wraps are a great on the go food, for breakfast lunch and dinner. Examples:
Turkey Bacon, Eggs, Cheese on a whole wheat tortilla or pita.
Chicken, bacon, cheese, light sauce (ranch, hummus, mustard,etc) and veggies on whole wheat wrap or pita
A sandwich is just fine if he loves them, but make sure it's the healthiest possible. Whole wheat bread (make sure the first ingredient is 100% whole wheat/stone ground flour, not enriched wheat flour) it should have at least 2 grams of fiber per slice. I eat lunch at Subway almost everyday, and I just make sure to get mustard as a sauce since I know it's sugar free and no carbs, and make sure the bread is wheat or honey oat.
He should only be drinking water or crystal light if he can because this will allow him to use the sugars he does eat daily for foods he enjoys. I love pepsi but I rather drink water all day if it means I can have a small bowl of ice cream or snack cake when I want a regular dessert.
Snacks he can keep on hand
Popcorn
Peanut Butter (Great alone, or with an apple, etc-its filling, quick, and if you buy the ones with only peanuts and salt in it it's healthy too)
Veggies/hummus
Soups
Whole grain bagels/english muffins
*I didn't include fruits because my Dr. says for me it counts as a sugar since Im not on meds and don't want to be.
Since he is on the road so much he needs to make sure he gets enough exercise as that helps lower blood sugar and improve circulation.
