Filter by:This project is designed to begin to characterize the abnormalities of glucagon secretion in subjects with cystic fibrosis related diabetes along the spectrum of glucose tolerance. Cystic fibrosis patients with normal glucose tolerance as well as cystic fibrosis related diabetes as well as control subjects will undergo an oral glucose tolerance test, mixed meal tolerance test, and one step hypoglycemic clamp. Cystic fibrosis patients will then return 12 months later to undergo repeat mixed meal tolerance test and hypoglycemic clamp test.
The objective of the investigators research program is to determine whether a combined exercise program (aerobic and resistance) improves abnormal glucose tolerance and diabetes control in CF patients. This program of exercises to increase strength and muscle endurance, exercise tolerance, will be assessed in a group of 12 CF patients with impaired glucose tolerance. The effect of exercise will be compared with a control group of 12 patients also glucose intolerant but do not participate in structured physical activity program. The duration of the exercise program will be 12 weeks and several measures (glucose tolerance, inflammatory profile, lung function, exercise capacity, muscle strength and endurance) will be conducted pre and post program to assess the program's impact .
This study is aimed at better understanding the impact of ivacaftor upon insulin and incretin secretion and glucose tolerance in patients with Cystic Fibrosis with a glycine (G551D) mutation. Investigators hypothesize that treatment with ivacaftor improves insulin secretion in individuals with CF.
The purpose of this study is to provide the necessary data and experience to design a larger, full scale clinical trial to determine if a certain medicine (repaglinide), which increases the amount of insulin secreted by the pancreas, can improve the nutritional status and pulmonary function of adolescents and young adults with cystic fibrosis and prediabetes by improving blood glucose control. The investigators are also trying to determine the relationship between systemic inflammatory factors and glucose impairment.
This Study is designed to determine whether treatment of CFRD with glargine insulin will improve hemoglobin A1c, weight and muscle mass compared to the traditional regimen of bedtime NPH insulin.
Our general aim is to determine the prevalence of diabetic microvascular complications in CFRD patients with and without fasting hyperglycemia, and to explore whether the presence of these complications is related to diabetes or CF factors. This cross-sectional study will provide pilot data for a longitudinal study of diabetes complications in CF.
