Glucose Monitoring in Youth With Cystic Fibrosis During Pulmonary Exacerbations (GeM-PEx)
University of Colorado, Denver
Summary
The goal of this study is to investigate the prevalence of dysglycemia with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) obtained during pulmonary exacerbations, both outpatient and inpatient, in youth with cystic fibrosis (CF).
Description
This research is using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to study changes in blood sugar levels that may occur in youth with cystic fibrosis (CF) and cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) who experience a pulmonary exacerbation (PEx), whether admitted to the hospital or seen in clinic. We hypothesize that 1) youth experiencing a PEx will have greater blood sugar changes during the PEx than at least 6 weeks after the PEx , 2) that the changes in blood sugars will be greater during the PEx when compared to CGM data gathered at a baseline visit prior to the PEx (when available), 3) and that b…
