Introduction: Development of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is associated with worsening of nutritional status and lung function, as well as increased mortality. The relevance of diagnosing the «pre-diabetic» status in these patients has not been addressed and the utility of HbA1c measurement in these patients is under discussion.
Aim: To study and characterise the different categories of carbohydrate metabolism impairment in paediatric patients with cystic fibrosis.
