I don't want to throw a wet blanket, but I think a 253 two-hour result puts him squarely in the CFRD range and probably warrants insulin therapy. That's a full 100+ points higher than a non-diabetic. Should be very interesting to see what the Endocrinologist has to say. One important thing I...

Some very interesting posts here. I have run across many more "religious" cf folks than non-religious and am impressed by the number here who seem to lean in the non-religious direction. I think you should find what works for you. Personally, having so many friends die at such an early age...

Different supplements work for different people. I have had great success with Creon for over twenty years. I briefly had to switch back to Pancreaze a couple of years ago and it took a couple of months before I felt "right" on that. And then Creon became available again so I switched back...

I have learned much about CFRD since I was diagnosed, at age 37, in 2004. My endocrinologist is adamant that ALL people with cf should take small levels of insulin for a wide variety of reasons - although I certainly understand that if someone had suggested to me that in addition to the regular...

I believe the best thing you could do for yourself is to get the hell out of that environment. People really do not change significantly and certainly your boyfriend's mother never will. David Sholes Bennington Vermont 44; DDF508; diagnosed at 8mos.; CFRD

You are going to have lots of questions once you have a diagnosis (and possibly beforehand as well). Feel free to call me at (303) 882-6070. I am 44 with cf and cf-related diabetes (and naturally CBAVD). I was diagnosed at 8mos in 1967 because I had a pediatrician who was really on the ball...

I don't want to oversimplify what you're going through. It sounds awful. But sometimes the simple things escape notice when something complex is going on. So..... Make sure you have a current and ongoing knowledge of what your Vitamin D levels are. Vitamin D is related to pain in all kinds...

I agree with most of the above. Don't let your health realities limit your enjoyment of your visit. Get the chair and use it as necessary. David Sholes Bennington Vermont 44/m/DDF508/CFRD

Mmmmm. So hard. I am a relatively healthy cf patient - minimal lung disease (although more so than twenty years ago). But, cf is cf and there will always be issues - not the least of which is the need to eat large quantities of food and the icky stomach issues. She accepted it all in the...

All the above posts are good advise. I have CRFD and this sounds like a blood sugar issue from that perspective. Not just low blood sugar, but quick swings in either direction can cause the same symptoms, and quick swings happen most often in the morning. The migraine idea also has merit -...

One of my best cf friends had very bad teeth from Tetracycline used on her when she was a child. In her early 20s she had her teeth capped - just like nearly all movie stars do - and she had beautiful white teeth for the rest of her life - nearly thirty additional years. If I had really bad...
