    Glucose Meters

    I have had CFRD for about 8 years now, I started my first year on shots, and then moved to an insulin pump, and have been ever since. You really have to be educated and know what your doing with insulin in general, as well as the pump. The very basics is you match up food to insulin. You must...

    Ever set off a smoke alarm while doing treatments?

    Hahah! Oh my, never heard of that one before! (NEB) I have been on cruise ships plenty of times, but never had that issue. My problem is always power cords, or trying to plug in without tripping and throwing myself overboard in the process because the rooms can be small. If your stateroom has a...

    I'm a little confused with what happens when I don't take my pills

    Well, to answer your question directly, Yes, you will not absorb those calories , you will not absorb your fat and protein, but you will probably absorb some of the carbs from the pudding, but at the expensive of extreme pain, bathroom problems, and malnutrition, and stupidity.

    If I were to do a high protein/fat crash diet, would that be ok?

    Fad diets, yo-yo dieting, crash diets, anything in a pill, is terrible for anyone WITH-OUT cf, and a would be a disaster for a person with CF. 1200 calories for a person with CF is not enough by a long shot, and low even for a normal person. If your one of the lucky over weight CFers, I...

    balking at higher salt dose

    "I promise to do some due diligence on my opinion that CFers need just the same amount of salt as the average healthy Joe" "Way above all electrolytes is WATER, people just aren’t paying attention to the amount of water we need. Salt makes you need more water." Electrolytes are mineral...
