Cystic Fibrosis-Related Diabetes and Subclinical Hypothyroidism in Pregnancy
Copyright © 2020, Kakoulidis et al..
Pregnancy in women with cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is rare and requires intensive monitoring and individualized treatment due to the pathophysiologic parameters of the disease in relation to insulin therapy and special nutritional needs. We present the case of a 33-year-old primigravida woman with CFRD (ΔF508 homozygote, with mild pulmonary involvement) on insulin therapy and treatment for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, who developed subclinical hypothyroidism during gestation. Due to the complexity of the disease, major clinical challenges were glycemic variance, hypoglycemic episodes, and difficulty in weight gaining. In addition, the presence of malabsorption in the intestinal mucosa was an important aspect of difficulty in the treatment of subclinical hypothyroidism. Thus, the flexible approach in the timing of basal insulin administration, combined with the individualized medical nutrition therapy, and along with the progressive increase in levothyroxine dosage, all were proven to be key components in the effective management of our patient.
