Cystic fibrosis presenting as new onset diabetes mellitus in adolescent twins.

Abstract excerpt

We describe identical adolescent twin girls who presented with symptoms consistent with type 1 diabetes. Medical work up for evaluation of gastrointestinal symptoms led to a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) in both. These cases suggest that diabetes can be a presenting symptom of CF in the absence of pulmonary symptomatology.
