Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Description: This study is a prospective, single arm pilot study. Patients with impaired glucose tolerance at the Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Clinic will be eligible to participate in this study. Baseline measures relating to anthropometric measures, lung function, inflammatory status, quality of life (QOL) usual dietary intake via 3 day food record, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and blood glucose levels (BGLs) via continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) or glucometer will be measured. Dietary education about low glucose load (GL) dietary modification will then be provided to the patient.

There will be a one month follow up to review anthropometry, lung function, dietary intake, BGLs and food satisfaction survey. A three month follow up will review anthropometry, lung function, dietary intake, BGLs, QOL, inflammatory markers and food acceptability survey.

Dietary prescription: Participants will be prescribed a diet based on current recommendations for CF energy and protein requirements. Education will be provided at the RPA CF clinic by the clinic dietitian. The baseline food record will be used to guide education of the participant about a low GL diet. Sample meal plans will be provided demonstrating substitution of low GI dietary products and recommended meal and snack pattern, lists of low GI products will be provided and education about the ‘GI tick’ for recognition of low GI products on food labels..

Measurement of subject compliance: This pilot study aims to assess feasibility of patient compliance with low GL dietary recommendation in this patient group. Compliance will be assessed based on calculation of glycaemic index of diet based on 3 day food record.
