Pay attention to the sugar you are eating. Especially with foods labeled low fat. They are only able to make those low fat foods taste good because they load it full of sugar instead. I just realized that the yogurt I like to eat had 16g of sugar. They add sugar to most everything these days, even bread.
This is especially important to expecting mothers...don't pump your kid full of insulin! If you want to learn more about how sugar effects the body watch this documentary.

RECOMMENDED GRAMS OF SUGAR FOR MEN
As caloric and nutritional intakes vary between men and women, so do recommendations for sugar grams. The American Heart Association states that men should not consume more than 9 tbsp. of sugar in a day. This measurement of sugar equates to a recommended limit of 45 g of sugar per day for men.
RECOMMENDED GRAMS OF SUGAR FOR WOMEN
The recommended sugar intake for women is less than that of men. The AHA advises women to limit their intake of sugar to 6 tbsp. of sugar each day. This translates to a daily recommended limit of 30 g of sugar.
