| JPS,
Ok so now you know that de-nile is a river in Egypt, but at least you are ready to move on. Welcome to the forums, I glad you found us. This is a great place for information and the people here are always ready to help you.
You are right there is a lot of contradictory information, one of the strangest things I encountered was being told to eat plenty of carbs, when in reality they are going to send your sugars high. I limit my carbs, and avoid things like white bread, pasta, rice and potatoes.
Testing is your most important tool, through regular testing (before and two hours after first bite) you will learn what foods work for you and what are best avoided.
I'd highly recommend the book "The first year: Type 2 Diabetes" by Gretchen Becker, I found it very informative and easy to read.
Visit here often, ask lots of questions and you'll get control of your diabetes. Remember you control your diabetes it does not control you.
