Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Thanks n. It really helps to have parts explained when I don't understand them. I really feel stupid when it comes to CFRD. I am guessing I will learn it just like I have learned everything else about CF. Oh well, I guess we are never too old to learn, huh. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Sue: In true CFRD, USUALLY, but not always, they do NOT find any or many ketone bodies in the urine, which has the happy advantage, when true, that we with cfrd are unlikely to have ketoacidosis and coma--which does NOT mean that we don't watch it--they usually medicate and use less carbohtydrate restric tion with cfrd. I was so apalled at the length of my first message, that I did not tag this on--the big danger with cfrd is capillary damage--and it CAN be controlled. I will have to send you a link on this at some point. No one says exactly the same thing, but there is a concensus of sorts. Love to all those achievers, and to YOU, n, AGAIN!
