A Study to Determine if Oral Glucose Tolerance Testing can Improve Screening Compliance in Cystic Fibrosis

Overview

About this study

The study aims to determine if a popular dextrose candy alternative yields a similar glycemic curve compared to the standard oral Dextrose solution used in the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. Additionally the study aims to determine if substituting the traditional oral dextrose solution used in the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test for a candy alternative yields a higher level of patient satisfaction among children ages 10-21 in the Mayo Clinic Cystic Fibrosis Center.
