The true cause of CFRD still hasn't been found. Here's one article back from 2006 that describes one other facet of what they believe one of the causes is: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/46755.php I also read another article today about CF related inflammation and Beta-cell injury, as a cause of CFRD. Looks like they are still trying to figure it out. I think it is just easier for some docs to describe it as your doc has said to you. If what your doc said was right, many of us with CFRD would not have normal C-Peptide tests (which a lot of us do). Hi Laurie, thanks for your comment. The true cause of CFRD still hasn’t been found.

That's why we have so mnay organ problems. Liver, Pancreas, Intestinal etc. That was the explaination my Drs. gave me for my diabetes.
