The article discusses the characteristics of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) as the most common co-morbidity in cystic fibrosis (CF) (1, 2). It notes that CFRD is an abnormal glucose tolerance, which causes lung problems, malnutrition and shorter life span on people. Diagnosis, tests and treatments of CFRD are presented. Recommendations on CFRD with fasting hyperglycemia and without fasting hyperglycemia and CF with intermittent hyperglycemia (IGT) are also included.
