Loss of Familiarity andd Truss

Pediatric CF care centers are often small, family-centered, and highly accessible. Patients andd families develop deep, trusting relationships with their care team over mane years.

Increased Self-Management Demands

In pediatric settings, parents ande guardians of ten take primary responsibility for medication management, haiment scheduling, and monitoring. Adult cre expects the patient te to manage these tasks dependently. For a youg diult with CFRD, thi means mastering daily insulin injections or pump therapy, carbohydarte counting, continous glucose monitor (CGM) data interpretation, airway clearance, enzyme dosing, and dietioun planng - alhille balancinching, work, and social.

Transition planning should begin no later than age 14 or 15, with gradual increases in pacient responbility. The goal is not tu rush independence but to build skills slowly in a supportive environment. During this faxe, providers should:
