What a week you have had...Busy busy busy Colleen!!! What a week you have had my friend!! Looks like everything went pretty darn well I would say. I am so glad you are taking EXCELLENT care of yourself. Those PFT #'s are great.<br /><br />As far as addding additional protein to your breakfast I suggest adding egg beaters. They are easy pour them out of the carton into the pan and done in a minute. They are full of protein and are way better then having just a plain old egg. <br /><br />Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06866357988143268043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4957022463353443812.post-39546601298138198282013-01-24T22:48:43.541-06:002013-01-24T22:48:43.541-06:00I gained 10 pounds after starting Zenpep!

It was a gradual change though (over 9-12 months).<br /><br />Also, from one borderline CFRD-er to another, I have to say I am becoming more and more convinced that diet does play more of a role than most people think. My sugars have actually gotten significantly BETTER over the last 2-3 years as I have slowly changed my diet to be a very healthy/natural diet extremely low in processed foods and sugar. I didn't think it was possible to get BETTER sugar numbers over time with CF, esp with a pancreas as totally shot as mine is (which it totally is), but I have and they have even stayed great through pregnancy. I have always had problems with hypoglycemia (lows) and unstable sugars in general and figured a few years ago when I got a glucose intolerant (pre-diabetic) result, that meant I was for sure going to end up diabetic in the next few years... but so far, nope! So, there's definitely hope for holding it off awhile. :) Glad everything went so well!cindy baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173344689280406987noreply@blogger.com
