Cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) occurs in at least 40-50% of adults with CF. With other forms of diabetes, microvascular and macrovascular disease are the major causes of morbidity and mortality. Macrovascular disease is rare in CF. While microvascular disease does occur in this ...
Cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the CFTR gene, is associated with various complications including cystic fibrosis鈥搑elated diabetes (CFRD). CFRD is an entity distinct from type 1 or type 2 diabetes. We report a rare case of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA...
Factors responsible for gestational diabetes might also be closely linked to ethnicity. For some ethnic groups, the risk of this type of diabetes is higher. Other Types of Diabetes Other lesser known types of diabetes include monogenic diabetes, cystic fibrosis-related diabetes, and steroid-induced ...
The Development and Characterization of Diabetes Mellitus in Cystic FibrosisPediatric Research publishes original papers, invited reviews, and commentaries on the etiologies of diseases of children and disorders of development, extending from molecular biology to epidemiology. Use of model organisms and in ...
Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes.If you havecystic fibrosis, you are at risk of this type of diabetes. Basically, the scarring of the pancreas that occurs in cystic fibrosis can make it tough for your pancreas to make the insulin you need. Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes has some features of...
Diabetes due to other causes, including diseases of the pancreas (e.g., cystic fibrosis and pancreatitis), drug—or chemical-induced diabetes (e.g., diabetes resulting from glucocorticoid use in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, or after organ transplantation) Typically, a healthy body breaks down...

Other types can come from taking steroid medications, having cystic fibrosis, or having certain rare inherited illnesses. Diabetes Symptoms The symptoms of type 1 diabetes often come on suddenly and can be severe. They include: Increased thirst ...
Cystic fibrosis (CF)-related diabetes (CFRD) is thought to result from beta-cell injury due in part to pancreas exocrine damage and lipofibrosis. CFRD pancreata exhibit reduced islet density and altered cellular composition. To investigate a possible etiology, we tested the hypothesis that such ch...
Hi. Some 15% of people with CF have diabetes. So it is not that uncommon as you thought. My uncle is a diabetic and recently he was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, which is a similar case. A destruction of pancreas, due to fibrosis, is the main cause of CF related diabetes. An insu...
