Patient characteristics at baseline and 5 years later, mean ± S.E.M. Baseline is the time of the first abnormal glucose tolerance test in CF AGT. CF NGT were matched by gender and baseline age to CF AGT.

	At Baseline			Five Year Follow-Up
	NGT (n=31)	AGT (n=31)	P value	NGT (n=31)	AGT(n=31)	P value
Age (years)	8 ± 0	8 ± 0	p = 0.07	13 ± 0	13 ± 0	p = 0.16
Height (cm)	123 ± 1	122 ± 1	p = 0.53	151 ± 1	150 ± 1	p = 0.33
Weight (kg)	25 ± 1	25 ± 1	p = 0.75	43± 1	42 ± 1	p =0.61
BMI percentile	54 ± 4	58 ± 4	p =0.50	49 ± 3	49 ± 3	p =0.98
FEV1 %predicted	107 ± 3	110 ± 3	p =0.53	94 ± 3	100 ± 3	p =0.14
FVC %predicted	110 ± 3	109 ± 3	p =0.91	100 ± 2	102 ± 2	p =0.33

The magnitude of change over the five years for each parameter was also not significantly different for AGT compared to NGT.
