^^ haha and congrats khrussva!

glimmergal- i am a type I diabetic and my "super health conscious college diet" was any type of fruit or veg (about 10 servings per day) but included corn, winter squash and sweet potato, mangoes, bananas, grapes, etc.....fatfree cheese and fatfree yogurt, beans, canned vegetable noodle soups, microwave popcorn, loads of fatfree dips, boca burgers on wholegrain pita bread, sf frozen yogurt, fiber one cereal with vanilla soymilk, and nutrigrain bars.
i was rail thin, but my blood sugars....ugh!

i discovered south beach late in senior year, thank goodness! And now 11 years later have awesome blood sugars and follow something closer to an atkins type plan.

my Dr has been very supportive of my diet- i am so lucky to have such a knowledgable guy. he is a type I himself

But yes the standard advice is to limit obvious sugars, but just "correct" for carbs in all the healthy fruit, whole grains and fatfree dairy you eat. aargh....
