Cystic fibrosis‐related diabetes develops from a combination of insulin secretion defects and insulin resistance

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Prospective cohort study

Main finding · CFRD-free survival by quartiles of insulin resistance and by combined insulin secretion (insulinogenic index) and insulin resistance (Stumvoll)Result — go to the resultHR for progression to CFRD 11.2

Authors' conclusion

Insulin resistance is correlated with glucose homeostasis and the risk of progression to CFRD. Patients combining low insulin secretion and high insulin resistance had the greatest odds of developing CFRD over a 15-year period.

Study context

Population
Individuals living with cystic fibrosis (CF) undergoing 2-h OGTT every 12–24 months until CFRD or end of follow-up (up to 15 years)
Participants
303 individuals
Exposure
Quartiles of insulin resistance and combined insulin secretion/insulin resistance categories
Outcome
Progression to CFRD (CFRD-free survival)
Follow-up
Up to 15 years

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

CFRD-free survival by quartiles of insulin resistance and by combined insulin secretion (insulinogenic index) and insulin resistance (Stumvoll)

HR for progression to CFRD

11.2

P < 0.0001

CFRD-free survival significantly different between quartiles of insulin resistance
P < 0.0001

Observational data: associations, not effects.
