1. Kinase cascades in the regulation of glucose homeostasis
Abstract : Therapeutic strategies to treat Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) aim at improving muscle insulin sensitivity by either directly modulating, or bypassing defective insulin signaling. Insulin induces metabolic and gene regulatory responses via PI 3-Kinase (PI3K) and Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways, respectively. READ MORE

2. Associations of type 2 diabetes mellitus with cancer and autoimmune diseases. A population-based epidemiological study in Sweden
Abstract : This thesis aimed to search for epidemiological evidence supporting the associations of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with cancer and autoimmune diseases (ADs) by analysing several Swedish national registries. T2DM shares risk factors with cancer, such as obesity, diet, stress, and physical inactivity. READ MORE

3. Insights into the Effects of Type 2 Diabetes on Bone Health
Abstract : Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have an increased risk of hip fracture, despite a stable or even greater bone mineral density (BMD). Bone area is linked to hip fracture risk independent of BMD and smaller bone area has been reported in T2DM subjects at the radius and tibia, but information at the hip is lacking. READ MORE

4. Semi-mechanistic models of glucose homeostasis and disease progression in type 2 diabetes
Abstract : Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by consistently high blood glucose, resulting from a combination of insulin resistance and reduced capacity of β-cells to secret insulin. While the exact causes of T2DM is yet unknown, obesity is known to be a major risk factor as well as co-morbidity for T2DM. READ MORE

5. Measuring health literacy : Evaluating psychometric properties of the HLS-EU-Q47 and the FCCHL, suggesting instrument refinements and exploring health literacy in people with type 2 diabetes and in the general Norwegian population
Abstract : Aim: The overall aim was to measure health literacy (HL) in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and in the general Norwegian population.Methods: Sampling 388 people with T2DM (papers I, II and IV) and 900 individuals (III) in the general Norwegian population a cross-sectional design was applied.
