Which insulin dosing method works best for cystic fibrosis diabetes?
NCT ID NCT04533646
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two common methods of dosing mealtime insulin in people with cystic fibrosis-related diabetes: counting carbohydrates versus using a fixed dose. Researchers used continuous glucose monitors to track blood sugar levels and see which method kept glucose in a healthy range. The goal was to find the best way to manage blood sugar without causing too many lows or highs.
