I read that you were in a long term care center in the hospital section. What you can do if the regular doctor does not listen is to tell him to put a call into your CF doctor as far as advisement goes. Maybe that extra push will help you get what you need. I also understand the carb thing, everytime I am in, I also get the ADA diet because of my diabetes. It takes a little convincing, but ultimately, it gets changed to a regular diet or one that has a high calorie limit with a generous carb count. They also give me plenty of snacks and drinks to help keep my weight on. I hope you get somewheres with your doctors, I really understand your frustrations.

Give em hell, but know your stuff first. Some docs forget that nobody knows your body like you do, having lived in it all your life.
If you can present your case on their level, or close to it, they will likely listen. Calling a CF doc might also help, but it depends on how willing they are to share information. Sometimes, hospitals and docs don't play nice.
