Hi there :]

I have cf and type 1 diabetes and I was just wondering if anyone else does too. I feel like an odd cfer b/c I don't have a "gaining weight" problem. I think the insulin puts the weight on me LOL I guess I want to know if anyone else has a problem with gaining too much weight with their diabetes and cf, how do you keep the weight off or under control? My doctors always (nicely) tell me that I will be one of the first cfers to be on a diet. A future THANK YOU for the future advice <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

Amber, I developed type III diabetes in my early 20's and since then have had trouble with gaining too much weight. Currently I exercise off about 600-800 calories a day and eat about 1600 a day- I'm on a slow weight loss plan. (have 3 lbs to go) Carbs just pack the weight on me, and boy do I love them, so I avoid most carbs. You certainly wont be the first CFer on a diet, I think a lot of adults have experienced a metabolic shift and developed diabetes and had weight isses (being too heavy).
