Abstract
As the life expectancy in patients with cystic fibrosis
increases, diabetes becomes a significant complication.
Impaired glucose metabolism has an adverse
effect upon the course of cystic fibrosis, therefore
glycemic control remains one of the main elements
of care. Insulin administration is the treatment of
choice for cystic fibrosis related diabetes.
