Abstract
The presence of cystic fibrosis (CF)-related diabetes was evaluated in 19 adolescents with CF by continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) and oral glucose tolerance testing. CGMS confirmed diabetic glucose excursions in 7/19 subjects deemed diabetic on oral glucose tolerance testing. CGMS is a useful tool for detecting hyperglycemia in CF.
