[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 578102, member: 11028"] Hi Adrian, it's more than likely when your travelling your stress levels are higher and this in turn can effect bg levels, plus irregular sleep patterns don't help matters much so you may need to have more insulin than you do at home. As for food on the go, you could purchase some cool bags and take them with you if you travel by car or van, but snacking between meals without insulin will inevitably lead to higher bg levels and some of the coffee's you mention can be quite carby as you've already found out, vending machine whitening has glucose added so over the course of a day it all adds up. Really the only answer is to stop snacking between meals and increase your insulin needs if your levels are running continually high, obviously if your driving you need to stay safe so more testing is needed and make sure you have plenty of glucose in your vehicle at all times.
