Continuous Glucose Monitoring and HbA1c in Cystic Fibrosis: Clinical Correlations and Implications for CFRD Diagnosis

CONCLUSIONS: CGM measures of hyperglycemia and glycemic variability are superior to HbA1c in distinguishing those with and without CFRD. CGM-derived AG is strongly correlated with HbA1c in adults with CF, with a similar relationship to other diabetes populations. Future studies are needed to investigate CGM as a diagnostic and screening tool for CFRD.PMID:34850006 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgab857
