Reproducibility of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) in the Assessment of Glucose Metabolism Disorders in Children With Cystic Fibrosis

Resumen breve

Glucose metabolism disorders in cystic fibrosis (CF-GMD) are common and have a negative clinical impact. Screening currently relies on the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT); however, this procedure is burdensome and complex for both patients and healthcare providers. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is increasingly used in CF centers for CF-GMD screening, either alone or alongside the OGTT. While long-term (one-year) OGTT reproducibility is known to be poor, the short- and medium-term reproducibility of CGM remains unknown. This examination is poised to become a major tool in CF-GMD investigation, upon which critical therapeutic decisions could be based. The primary objective of this project is to evaluate the short-term variability of CGM data.
