People (both children and adults) with CF in whom cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD), as outlined by the ADA 2016 criteria, is suspected or who are being routinely screened for CFRD.

Comparison of continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS) (index test) against the reference standard (diagnosis of CFRD as outlined by the ADA criteria ) in the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD).

Accuracy of continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS) in detecting abnormalities of glycaemic control. The clinical reference standard is the diagnosis of CFRD as outlined by the ADA criteria
