Glycemic Variability and the Thickness of Retinal Layers in Cystic Fibrosis Patients with and without Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes

CONCLUSION: Although we investigated a rather small number of patients, we obtained evidence that intraretinal neurodegenerative changes occur in each of our subgroups (CFNG, CFAG, CFRD). Beyond this, our results favor the detrimental role of additional diabetes, as the deviations from healthy controls were most pronounced in the CFRD group and are similar to those seen in patients suffering from type 1 or type 2 diabetes.PMID:38557392 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2024.2333770
