CFRD Fact #10

Weight loss and decline in pulmonary function began 4-6 years before the onset of diabetes.

After two years of insulin therapy,weight returned to levels seen six years earlier and the decline in pulmonary function stabilized.

This suggests a cause and effect relationship between clinical decline and the pre-diabetic state.
