If it was her blood sugar and it was low enough that she was unresponsive, she would not have come out of it without glucose. You probably should have called EMS and had them check her blood sugar then just to see what it was. You can always refuse transport if it turns out that she is ok.

My dietitian said to me once that if you're going low you're also probably having spikes. As she explained it, people with CF are usually very sensitive to insulin (although because of atrophy and fatty replacement of the pancreas, we may not produce as much of it). So, you have a spike and...

You do realize that stomach acid is between 1.5 and 3.5 pH right? Whereas a common acid added to foods is citric acid and is around 6 pH. The human body has a very narrow normal range of pH (7.35-7.45) and is very good at maintaining homeostasis. I have never read any serious medical literature...

In a relatively short term study, yes it would seem to infer that. Unfortunately, people will be on Kalydeco for the rest of their lives (given that something better doesn't come along) and we have no data on long term side effects.
