Insulin and glucose profiles following an oral glucose tolerance test in patients with cystic fibrosis and classification tree modelling of insulin:glucose profiles as a tool to predict changes in lung function

Nicholson Simon , Aldag Ina , West Noreen , Wright Neil

Introduction: Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) frequently exhibit altered insulin and glucose metabolism and many develop cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD). Lung function is influenced by glucose metabolism with changes in glucose metabolism resulting in deterioration in lung function. Recommendations suggest CF patients should have an OGTT annually to screen for the development of CFRD. We examined the OGTT profiles to ascertain whether simpler fasting measures of ...
