CC02-- From Malnutrition to Metabolic Disease: Complexities of Weight Management in Modern CF Care

Saturday, October 10, 2026
8:00 AM - 9:15 AM EDT
The era of highly effective modulator therapy has transformed the nutritional landscape for people with CF. As weight gain, obesity, and related comorbidities become increasingly prevalent, CF clinicians are confronting difficult questions about the role of GLP-1 receptor agonists in this vulnerable population. Through four case presentations, this session explores the promise and peril of incretin-based therapies in CF: from dramatic weight loss leading to life-threatening respiratory failure, to improved glycemic control and unexpected fertility restoration, to the psychosocial toll of post-HEMT body image distress. These cases challenge CF teams to develop a nuanced, CF-specific framework for managing weight.
