My mom's good friend was diagnosed with this as an adult. It doesn't just affect children, you can develop it as an adult.

I have recently become insulin impaired so I am now diabetic. I have to inject myself in the morning with insulin and watch what I eat and drink, so more non diet fizzy drinks or sweets. I measure my blood sugar 3 times a day and record the results.
From what I have been told, CF related diabetes is different from normal diabetes. Is anyone both CF and diabetic ?

I have cystic fibrosis (CF) but I am lucky in as much as I have it only midly. Through good health and treatment over the years even with CF I am 38 and I don't expect my health to go downhill anytime soon if at all.
I have friends whom are no longer here who had CF but never made it. So for all of those people with CF, keep on fighting cus you are all special to live and cope with CF.

And when you'll grow up you will maybe understand that all the pain is in the way you see your situation and the idea that you decide to get of it.
