Abstract

Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is a common complication of cystic fibrosis (CF) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in children and adults. While its pathophysiology is complex, the main feature of CFRD is inadequate insulin secretion due to functional and structural abnormalities in islet cells. Insulin remains the mainstay of glycemic therapy as it improves health outcomes in patients with CFRD. While research has focused on the basic pathogenesis of CFRD over the last several decades, numerous questions still remain.

This chapter reviews the natural history and pathophysiology of CFRD; its association with clinical outcomes in CF; screening, diagnosis, and treatment of CFRD; and future directions of research in this field.
