This observational study is looking into whether being a carrier for cystic fibrosis (CF) might increase the risk of developing certain health issues, specifically affecting the pancreas and kidneys. Researchers believe that CF carriers might show early, subtle signs of these conditions compared to people who are not CF carriers. The study aims to compare glucose (blood sugar) and insulin levels between CF carriers and non-carriers. You could be eligible if you are between 18 and 100 years old and are a confirmed CF carrier or have never been tested for CF. You cannot participate if you have CF, are pregnant, or are taking diabetes medication. The study involves one clinic visit where you'll answer questions and have lab tests. Some participants will also collect urine and stool samples at home.

Study design

This is an observational study planning to enroll 1250 participants. It compares health markers in CF carriers to those who are not CF carriers.

What's involved

You will have one clinic visit for measurements, blood pressure, blood draws, and a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test. Some participants will also collect urine and stool samples at home.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary measurements for glucose and insulin values are taken at baseline (at the start of the study).
