losing lean body bass on arms and legs? i'm trying to gain mass in those areas lol.
i have more problems gaining weight than losing which i thought was more symptomatic of cf. when i try to gain weight it seems like i just get a huge gut, then as soon as i stop eating the insane amount, i lose all the weight and the gut is gone.

Hi Sarah, Welcome!
How is your CFRD? Do you have good control of your blood sugars? Have you cut carbs from your diet (rumor that this is a big no-no for most of us)?

Side note, I did tube-feedings a long while ago (before CFRD dx). I remember the formula was really sugary. Do you use a low carb formula? If not, how do you dose your insulin?

Can I ask anymore questions? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

If you are on insulin, I suggest switching to a carb counting insulin (humalog is the one I'm on), that way you can eat all the carbs you want.
