CF testing, at 23?
Hey, I don't know where to start with this one - first off, i'm 23. I have a lot of health problems, and also have a lot of friends with CF because of being in hospitals a lot. I've always been told I have very brittle and unstable asthma, and that because of my asthma I get lots of infections. However its got to the point where I am in hospital every few months, my lung function is rapidly dropping and we cant seam to get the infections under control. So I was referred too another hospital (Papworth) which specializes in CF/ Non-CF bronchiectasis and recurrent difficult infections. They have ran lots of tests, one of wh...

ukcat extenuating circumstances
I did the test today and did rubbish :( but I'm diabetic and during the test went hypoglycemic and had to sort myself out for a few minutes obviously missing a few questions :(. I'm just wondering if I should have got an incident number because I never received one. My insulin pump also malfunctioned meaning during the exam my blood sugars went extremely high and made me feel so unwell, i felt I could have done better, but has anyone got any advice as I haven't got an incident number :( (Source: New Media Medicine)

Insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome is "just a way of calling people fat, isn’t it?”
Conclusions and Relevance:  These findings suggest that overweight and obesity are risk factors for MI and IHD regardless of the presence or absence of metabolic syndrome and that metabolic syndrome is no more valuable than BMI in identifying individuals at risk.” (Source: Doc2Doc BMJ Cardiology)

New Drugs and insulin use
Hi all. I read the thread about decrease in need for enzymes since starting the new drugs but I was wondering about insulin. Has anyone with diabetes seen a reduction in their insulin use/need? Hoping to get in on the phase 3 trial as I am double delta F508. Thanks. Kalen (Source: Cystic Fibrosis CFTR Modulation and Gene Therapy Forum)

Discussion. Paradox effects of vitamin D maybe due to the different doses of it.One explantation could be that vitamin D has it,s effects on insulin resistance in a specific level and in lower or higher level or doses ,it may have paradox effects maybe because of the effects on different genes in nucleus and DNA.The difference of results of different studies about the effect of vitamin D on insulin resistance maybe due to different dosage and serum levels for vitamin D that used in different studies. 3- We suggest a model for predicting Fasting Plasma Glucose. It should be used in more studies and different clinical t...

Anyone Heard of MSM / DMSO?
My Dad has found, through research, a naturally ocurring compound called MSM. Naturally ocurrs in the body and in many foods. Basically a sulphur that our body needs. Why does it POTENTIALLY relate to CF? Because MSM affects cell membranes, especially mucous membranes. It basically naturally coats cell membranes to help relieve them of excess pressure, fluid and toxins. It is believed to have amazing anti-inflammatory effects. I found a few articles referencing MSM use for the respiratory and digestive tracts. There aren't many studies done on this, and as usual, our ridiculous FDA does not want to approve this. Only side ...

Please note that insulin signaling results in GSK-3 inactivation. GSK-3 is negatively regulated by phosphorylation. (Source: Diabetology and Metabolic Syndrome Comments)

missing letter in author 3 name and an additional space
Dear Post Publication Team, First, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the efforts done by Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome team, so as to have our work presented in its final format, and published on the reputable BMC. Second, regarding our manuscript, there are two minor comments: 1. paragraph B.9.1, third sentence: [fasting serum insulin (µ U/ml)….], I do not think there should be a blank space between “µ” and “U”. 2. It concerns the authors names, and I hopefully wish you can have it corrected, it concerns author 3, Dr. Lamiaa N Hammad, actually he...
