Filter by: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.
This research is being done to find the genes and other factors that are responsible for differences among persons with cystic fibrosis. We are particularly interested in the factors that relate to the development of Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes (CFRD).
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 is a study to find out if Levemir® (a long acting or basal insulin) is safe and effective in treating cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD).
We hypothesize use of the insulin pump will improve body weight, lean body mass, whole body protein turnover, hepatic glucose production (HGP), and blood sugar control in CF patients with impaired glucose tolerance or patients with CF related diabetes (CFRD). We further hypothesize that HGP is also elevated in children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes and that the insulin pump will result in decreased HGP.
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.
