title: [Consensus on the diagnosis and management of changes in carbohydrate metabolism in cystic fibrosis].
abstract: Abnormal glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus are a common complication of cystic fibrosis (CF). Cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) is due to decreased insulin secretion, secondary to pancreatic insufficiency. Patients with CFRD have increased morbidity and mortality and are subject to the same microvascular complications as patients with other types of diabetes. Prompt diagnosis and aggressive management of CFRD is important.A consensus conference on CFRD was held in Madrid in May 2000to define the current standards for the diagnosis and management of this disease in Spain.
