I don't take any mucolytic agents. As for the genotype/phenotype bit, i would not be speculating on that kind of thing especially with someone who is not very familiar with the disease pathology. We really don't know much about epigenetics, and to say that a class V might produce a milder...

I am refusing any more pred until I can have an endocrinology consult. Their sliding scale is ridiculous and I agree that I should be taking Lantus qAM. CF docs should not be playing around with insulin dosing, send me to Endo.

I just had mine checked again 305mg/dl now. I'm having a hard time getting the nurse to take this seriously. I'm gonna pitch a fit soon and refuse prednisone until I have an endo consult. It just baffles me how stupid some medical professionals are.

I spiked to 281mg/dl after the meal and was given 10units. I'm going to check again in an hour. I remember being on pred a few years ago for ABPA and I was on lantus qAM and a sliding scale of novalog. I think my sliding scale was much higher then. Thank you all for your input.

I can ask, It just seems stupid to me to check before a meal and get a WNL value and then probably spike afterward and do nothing about it.

So, I was just put on prednisone after the bronch I had yesterday. I always get really insulin resistant on steroids, but my hospital wants to check my BSG and base my sliding scale on my BSG before dinner (96mg/dl this time). That seems kind of stupid to me, as I know I will probably ecclipse...

The pharmacy I use now is a mail order pharmacy called Med-Fast and their service is excellent. They are only located in Western Pa, but being mail order, they may ship to anywhere in the lower 48. They deal with a lot of CF patients and they know exactly how to deal with insurance companies...

Pseudomonas has a very distinct smell. I can smell it the strongest when I have an active sinus infection.

Yeah, I would try ibuprofen or naproxen. Does pressing on the area hurt? Ruling out an occult fracture, I would ask about skelaxin. It's as effective (for me) as flexeril, but without sleeping 15 hours a day.
