Continuous Glucose Monitoring Predicts Long-term Nutritional Outcomes in Adults With Cystic Fibrosis
Melissa S. Putman, MD, and colleagues correlated findings on continuous glucose monitoring with a decline in body weight and a decline in body mass index over one year in adults with cystic fibrosis. Their data also suggest advanced glycation end products may represent a useful marker in this population.
