    Foods that are good for working out but not losing weight

    Oatmeal is a good one, it's a healthy grain (as long as you don't get the sugary kind). Personally, I like to get plain oatmeal and put fruit in it for my sweets. Mangoes are good, so are bananas and/or strawberries. You could do Kiwi, although I haven't tried that one yet. Sometimes I will...

    Do you feel blessed to have CF to a degree?

    I can definitely say CF has shaped my life to an extent. However, I think I would have gone in a similar direction CF or not. I can say having CF has let me reach out to others who also have CF and offer support. I hope one day to be able to say that I made a significant impact on the CF...

    Pathological Blood Sugar-Level

    Yeah 211, is something to keep an eye on, but certainly not in a danger zone. As JustDucky said, Mine have approached 500mg/dl (when insulin resistant on steroids). You have to at least be that level to worry about DKA (or sugar shock). I had a patient once who was fully awake and talking to...

    Allergic against cats

    Zyrtec is reportedly one of the antihistamines with the least amount of sedation. Good luck!

    medic alert

    As a medic, the most useful reason to have one is in the event you have drug allergies. I never got the diabetic ones. If a paramedic finds you unresponsive (with no obvious explanation), the first thing we check is your airway/vitals, 2nd is blood sugar, 3rd we give Naloxone if we suspect...

    I was being wheeled into the OR for sinus surgery. For safety they always ask what you are having done, so I replied "left frontal sinusotomy with turbinate reduction and septoplasty." They somehow took offense at that and told me that I wasn't a paramedic in this situation. I corrected...

    has anyone else gotten mixed up while in the hospital

    The last time I was hospitalized I counted 5 medication errors. 2 of them could have been serious. While I was not mistaken for another patient, I was given the wrong meds, in the wrong dose or at the wrong time (or both). Luckily I have a good working knowledge of what I take and when...
