Overview
The goal of this at-home, remote study is to understand how tube feeding affects blood sugars and sleep in adults living with Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes (CFRD).
Description
The study is a 10-day home-based, observational study of 30 adults with CFRD receiving HEN (targeting 15 receiving overnight and 15 daytime HEN) aimed at concurrently phenotyping glucose, sleep, and circadian rhythms. The remote study is designed to reduce participant burden while allowing for safe and robust objective data and specimen collection and to inform future clinical trial design. The objective of the proposed pilot and feasibility clinical study is to assess the feasibility of remotely phenotyping glycemia, sleep, and circadian rhythms of adults living with CFRD receiving HEN and to generate preliminary data to power a future clinical trial.
