Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes
MONDO:7770003A form of diabetes mellitus unique to individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), arising primarily from progressive fibrotic destruction of the pancreas leading to insulin deficiency, with additional contributions from insulin resistance. CFRD affects approximately 20% of adolescents and 40-50% of adults with CF. It shares features with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes but is a distinct clinical entity with its own diagnostic criteria and management guidelines.
Also known as: CF-related diabetes, CFRD

Could a sticky patch replace the sugar drink test for cystic fibrosis diabetes?
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study compares a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) worn on the skin to the standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) for detecting diabetes in adults with cystic fibrosis. The OGTT is time-consuming and often skipped, so researchers want to see if the CGM is a simpler and e…
