I empathize with you. My husband is Type I - diagnose in his late 20's. We just returned from London and eating can be a challenge. I know types I and 2 are different but the time change can throw him for a loop the first day. I always carry Skittles (or another sugary candy) as he tends to go low the first day. It's true, exercise does wonders for blood sugar control. We walked miles each day and he was near perfect with his blood sugars. Breakfast consisted of cornflakes or Special K with low fat milk. Lunch every day was a simple chicken sandwich with fries (we shared) and copious amounts of steak each evening. Again, exercise is key.
