FEED-Cystic Fibrosis (FEED-CF)
Sponsored by Emory University
About this study
The goal of this study is to determine the extent to which excess dietary sugars serve as a precipitating factor in glucose intolerance in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF), a population at especially high risk for a unique form of diabetes (CF-related diabetes, CFRD) and with standard-of-care dietary recommendations (high-calorie, high-fat) that conflict with recommendations for other forms of diabetes. This trial will investigate if the typical high-sugar, high-fat CF diet plays a role in diabetes risk and visceral fat accumulation in people with CF. A total of 30 participants will get a low-added sugar, high-fat diet and the other 30 will get a standard CF diet with no sugar restrictions. Participants will be randomized to the diet group they are assigned. All foods will be provided for 8 weeks.
