Rosemary Re: FEET/ again!!!

July 11, 2003

Well....everyone on the CF lists seem to think it is, but then again,

we are not docs, what do we know????

Anyway, the one case where it might be related is if it is cfrd...I

think is too young. We were told when 's blood sugar was

slightly elevated that if he developed any diabetic symptoms before

age 10 then it would be actual JD, not cfrd because cfrd is usually

not an issue until the kids are 10 or older. How old is ?

Because...if he is older than 10 it would be worth testing him for

cfrd. Just a thought. My big concern about it is b/c he did have

some slightly elevated blood sugars, and they hammer into us with

Mollie, our juvenile diabetic to watch those feet for the exact same

stuff as has.

thanks for the reply.

take care,

Jen
