[dhadley4th]

I was diagnosed as diabetic last week. I have been reading as much as I can. I have type 2 and my doctor believes it can be controlled with diet and exercise. I am testing before and after each meal (just before and 1 hour after). I have started to rule some of the foods out. I exercise on my treadmill everyday. How long I work out varies because I am always feeling exhausted.

But today my BS jumped from 258 to 436 with foods that previously did not cause a large rise. Then to relax I hit the hot tub (about 20 minutes) and I started to get sick (light headed, headache, turned pale, and had trouble thinking straight). I went inside and relaxed. About ten minutes later I took my BS reading and it went to 133. Is this something related to the hot tub? Is this normal? My BS level rarely has gone below 170 since I have been testing.

What is a good number for daily Carbs?
