About this trial
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).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
6- 25 years old
Confirmed diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (based on sweat chloride and/or two known disease causing CF mutations)
access to a smart phone and/or internet connection and the ability to complete remote telehealth visits
Disqualifiers
known type 1 or type 2 diabetes, monogenic diabetes
critical illness requiring admission to the ICU
pregnancy
Trial population
Individuals with CF ages 6 y- 25 years will be eligible to enroll. Participants will be enrolled at baseline health during a routine CF clinic visit or upon diagnosis of a pulmonary exacerbation (PEx). A PEx will be defined by treatment with either oral or IV antibiotics for an increase in respiratory symptoms as defined by a pediatric pulmonologist at our CF Center. Oral antibiotics are typically prescribed for two weeks based on clinical care guidelines developed at our center which standardize antibiotic selection based on prior respiratory culture results.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
CGM standard deviation
Measures of glycemic variability from CGM during the exacerbation (CGM-PEx) compared measure derived from recovery period (CGM-post)
CGM coefficient of variation
CGM measure of glycemic variability during the exacerbation (CGM-PEx) with recovery measure (CGM-post)
MAGE (mean amplitude of glycemic excursions)
CGM measures of glycemic variability (MAGE) during the exacerbation (CGM-PEx) with recovery measures (CGM-post)
Secondary outcomes
Forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) at each visit
Collected clinically at baseline during routine visits, and at the start of a pulmonary exacerbation (PEx) for those admitted inpatient and in clinic, and at next in person routine clinic visit; b)by home spirometer during routine clinic visits, and in the hone setting (if not in person) once for the baseline visit, and at the onset of exacerbation and twice/week for 14 days, and once upon recovery (at least 6 weeks after PEx)
Need for additional antibiotics within 28 days following initial treatment
If initial Rx for antiobiotics proves unsuccessful and participant requires additional treatment
Chronic Respiratory Infection Symptom Score questionnaire
Questionnaire tracking exacerbation symptoms
sputum culture as available from clinical data
Will be collected when available from clinical data
