Today we published the first of a new series of ‘Research in focus’ reports, on CF-related diabetes. The report explains the impact CF-related diabetes has on the lives of people with cystic fibrosis (CF), what we’ve learnt from our funding so far, and how a new Strategic Research Centre grant could pave the way for insulin-injection free treatments in the future.
In this blog in our CF Week series about how our community balances the challenges of cystic fibrosis (CF) with everyday life, Andrew shares his experiences and gives his tips for finding balance in treatment, exercise and relationships.
A YouGov poll commissioned for CF Week reveals four in five of the general public are unaware that people with cystic fibrosis (CF) cannot meet one another due to the risk of passing on potentially deadly bugs, while the prevalence of the CF gene and issues such as the burden of care are also little understood.
Each day during CF Week, we’ll be sharing stories from the cystic fibrosis (CF) community about how they balance the challenges of CF with everyday life. In the first of these, Derek talks about getting a CF diagnosis at 30, acceptance and living life your way.
Chief Executive of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, David Ramsden, writes about how the Trust is working to support people with CF from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and why we want to do it better.
The Cystic Fibrosis Trust has been working with NHS England and the UK CF Medical Association (UKCFMA) to support the roll out of home monitoring devices and apps to help people with CF stay well at home and spot health problems early during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
