| Travel is no problem at all unless you are traveling to a country where you are likely to find nothing you want to eat. I would think Norway and the UK have many similar things. As long as you know carbohydrate counts and portion sizes for some basic things like bread, meats, fruits and cheeses, you can guess pretty accurately.
The second thing to remember is to test at least before and a couple of hours after meals, when you wake up, and when you go to bed. This is basic of course, to keep your blood sugar correct. Sometimes the new experiences of traveling cause us to forget to test often enough.
Always carry your diabetic supplies in your carry-on luggage.
Carry your meter and strips, a few healthy snack bars and some fast acting glucose (glucose tablets or candy) wherever you go. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated and HAVE FUN!
