Diabetes is a common complication of cystic fibrosis (CF). Because of evidence that it is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, prompt diagnosis and aggressive management of CF‐related diabetes (CFRD) is important. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation held a consensus conference in 1998 to define the current standards for the diagnosis and care of this disease [Moran A, Hardin D, Rodman D et al. Diagnosis, screening, and management of CFRD: a consensus conference report. J Diabetes Res Clin Pract 1999: 45: 61–73]. This article reviews those recommendations, and presents the practical approach to the management of CFRD used at the University of Minnesota.
