Early Origins Study of Cystic Fibrosis-related Diabetes

囊性纤维化是一种遗传性疾病，可导致反复肺部感染和过早死亡。一些患者还发展为糖尿病，导致更快的下降。许多患有CF的幼儿患有“糖尿病前期”，但指南不建议在该组中筛查高血糖。为了早期干预，这项研究旨在确定患有囊性纤维化的非常年幼的儿童的“糖尿病前期”是否会导致生长不良，肺功能或细菌感染增加。

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic condition that causes recurrent lung infections and early death. Some patients also develop diabetes which causes a more rapid decline. Many young children with CF have “pre-diabetes” but guidelines do not recommend screening high glucose in this group. In order to intervene early, this study aims to determine if “pre-diabetes” in very young children with Cystic Fibrosis causes poorer growth, lung function or an increase in bacterial infections to.
