Pancreas and gut hormone responses to oral glucose and intravenous glucagon in cystic fibrosis patients with normal, impaired and diabetic glucose tolerance

Key Points

• Patients with cystic fibrosis show different hormone responses to oral glucose compared to those with normal glucose tolerance and diabetes.
• Glucagon levels were measured following interventions, revealing significant variability among glucose tolerance groups.
• Analysis assessed hormonal responses using a comparison of oral glucose and intravenous glucagon in cystic fibrosis.
• Findings may guide future management strategies for glucose intolerance in cystic fibrosis patients.
