Thanks everyone for your responses! I do really appreciate how nice everyone is here. debb and nancy: I am looking at a smaller foreman grill for my room, but in all actuality the university doesn't allow it. I am at the point where I want to say -- Just let us grill outside, at least! It's sometimes frustrating to have diabetes on a college campus.

I woke up feeling reassured though, in that testing at bedtime and upon waking up, my sugars were great. I've benefited from this group already in finding a great sugar tracking website: sugarstats.com It''s nice to see the stats grow lower with the graphs and such.

I am glad you came here. I have had people look at me like it is all my fault. There are so many forums you can check out here and and can vent. It is great. You can spend hours at this sight. It can help you feel better about yourself. I like most of my veggies raw which helps. My hubby got me a George Forman grill that has removable plates for easier clean up. It is wonderful for so many foods. God bless you and visit TuD often. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

hi jennifer,
you have definitely come to the right place. i'm sure that between all of us we can figure out something that will work for you. and you betcha sure you have the right to vent, and you can do that here too.
will they allow a small george forman type electric cook type thing in your room? that would be perfect for cooking up fish or anything that you can have in your diet. even veggies on that rare occasion when your tired of nuked veggies. i find the forman cooker is more of a pain to clean, but then again i'm a bit lazy when it comes to washing up by hand. i love my dishwasher. comes with age. when my son graduated from high school and went into the marine corps i made my hubby buy me a dishwasher. my sons name is steve so we named the dishwasher steve. of course my son says we could have bought the dishwasher a long time before that and we told him that at least now he knows how to wash dishes, as well as cook for himself. he's a rare one. he knows how to cook, clean, do his own laundry and keep his own room clean. none of which he admits to or does now, of course.
hope i helped some as well as give you a smile. i'm sure someone younger and who goes to college can give you some better ideas.

I always hate it when people say "be thankful you don't have something worse". It never makes me feel better. Of course you can vent here!

I have an excellent microwave cookbook called "Microwave Gourmet" by Barbara Kafka. It's old, but your library may have it. It is quite comprehensive.
