Diabetes is a very common complication that develops over time in many people with cystic fibrosis. In fact, most adults living with CF have some degree of diabetes or glucose intolerance. CF related diabetes (CFRD) is a unique type of diabetes that only people with cystic fibrosis can get. CFRD is similar to, but not the same as, diabetes in people who do not have cystic fibrosis.
