Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults diagnosed with cystic fibrosis who have normal or impaired glucose tolerance.

Probably not a fit

Patients diagnosed with cystic fibrosis-related diabetes who are on diabetogenic medications or have undergone transplant will not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to improve the screening process for cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) by utilizing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) alongside the standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Participants will wear Dexcom G7 sensors for 10 days to track glucose levels, while also undergoing annual OGTT and HgbA1c testing. The clinic's registered dietitian will assist with sensor application, data tracking, and dietary education. Data collected will be analyzed to compare CGM results with traditional screening methods to enhance patient care and adherence.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more accurate and convenient screening for diabetes in cystic fibrosis patients, potentially improving their health outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of continuous glucose monitoring is gaining traction, this specific approach to screening for CFRD is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
