NCT ID NCT05766774
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a low-added-sugar, high-fat diet can reduce diabetes risk in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). Sixty participants will receive either a low-sugar or standard CF diet for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in insulin production, body fat, and blood sugar control to see if cutting sugar helps prevent CF-related diabetes.
