    Blood sugar numbers..

    Yikes - lots of misinformation flying around here. The CF Foundation guidelines state that CF 2 hour post meal sugars should be less than 140. Anything above 140 and you are feeding the bacteria in your lungs and doing damage to various other organs in your body. Uncontrolled CFRD leads to...

    Best birth control?

    IUD's are an awesome option. They are inserted and can remain in the body for 5+ years - so one less pill/patch/ring to remember. I took ativan and tylenol #3 to help with my IUD insertion. I'm kind of a weenie (I need ativan for PICC line insertion) and it was a pretty smooth process. IUDs...

    kalydeco & 70% fev1?

    The Kaly Phase III study (STRIVE) involved patients with "Baseline lung function in STRIVE was 63.5 percent predicted for patients in the KALYDECO treatment group and 63.7 percent predicted among those in the placebo control group." So Jelly I don't see why Kaly wouldn't work for you.
