CFRD

Hi Kristin
CFRD Is related to Pancreatic Insufficiency.
One important thing I have learned is that I still make 2% of my own insulin. They can do a test to see that.
That is one of the differences between regular diabetes and CFRD. We still make some insulin. That is what makes it more difficult to manage. But it is doable, if you keep a log book of your Blood sugars and pay attention to trends in those numbers.

Kristin,
From what I've read, CFRD is a combination of Type I and Type II. As Jen said, we may make less insulin, but our bodies may ignore some of our insulin as well due to the constant state of infection.
The idea is if your pancreas is affected by CF (making you pancreatic insufficient), over time there will be scarring (fibrosis) in your pancrease which will diminish your pancreas' ability to make insulin.
At least that's what I've heard...

I have CFRD. I noticed all of last year that I was suffering from repeated lung infections without any success of feeling all that better after the IV treatments. After some blood tests, they discovered I did in fact have CFRD. My high blood sugar levels were contributing to my body not being able to successfully recover from repeated lung infections. I have now since moved to insulin and I feel so much better. I have more energy, I can eat those foods that normally I would "pay"for if I even thought of consuming. I am also sleeping better at night because that is also a critical time for the body to deal with high blood sugar levels. They started me out o NPH, about 10 units at 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Starting Wednesday, I'm supposed to see my endocrinologist wherein I can start using the short acting insulin. I should be able to have even tighter control of my sugars......which is even better.
