Your sinuses get easily filled with sticky mucus. How can you clear it? Your liver gets blocked, too, which may put you at risk of liver failure. What can you do about it? What are the signs of diabetes in CF patients? How is it treated? CF patients who eat well and are well nourished have better lung function and feel better––but how do you stay well-nourished?

Whew, sounds like a lot of questions, but it’s only the beginning! This section will give you the answers to help you choose and manage your treatments better.
