I have many of the same cycles and I also take Prandin. You're right, it is short acting.
Sometimes, it's kind of a roller coaster for me. At times, 2 hours after I've eaten, it can be 225, but then 30-45 minutes later, it can be 75! I can't imagine this is good for my old body! I would be curious to know if those taking insulin shots can have the very same thing happen?
When mine are real low (<65), I drink fruit juice or eat a bowl of cereal with sugar rather then Equal to get the bs level up quickly. If I drink a little juice, then I follow up with something w/ protein in it to level things out.
From my experience, stress can cause lower sugars. I'm not sure about sickness/infection. My guess is that it would make bs levels elevated, but then again, if you're coughing a whole lot, that energy would off-set, maybe??
I haven't found a whole lot specifically about CFRD. For one thing, I wonder if our pancreas ability fluctuates, i.e. sometimes it produces insulin just fine & then sometimes not so well?
