2. 1. Self-management of diabetes in adolescents using insulin pumps

   Author : Anna Lindholm Olinder; Bibbi Smide; Kerstin Ternulf Nyhlin; Karin Wikblad; Anna Kernell; Marit Graue; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 1 diabetes; Insulin infusion systems; Insulin omission; Adolescents; Adolescent parenting; Nursing; Qualitative research; Interviews; Caring sciences; Vårdvetenskap; Diabetology; Diabetologi; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin; Caring Sciences; Vårdvetenskap;

   Abstract : Insulin pump treatment (CSII) is considered the most physiological way to imitate the healthy body’s insulin profile in adolescents with diabetes. However, despite the use of CSII, achieving the recommended disease control is difficult for adolescents. READ MORE

4. 2. Atherosclerosis and Insulin Resistance AIR A cross-sectional study of 58-year old men

   Author : Lena Bokemark; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Insulin resistance; intima-media thickness; LDL particle size; atherosclerosis.;

   Abstract : The main aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that insulin resistance is associated with atherosclerotic disease in the carotid and femoral arteries as measured using the ultrasound technique in clinically healthy 58-year old men with varying degrees of obesity and insulin resistance. The subjects were recruited from the general population and were free from clinical cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and treatment with antihypertensive, lipid-lowering and anti-diabetic drugs (n=818).

5. 3. Identification of abnormally expressed genes in skeletal muscle contributing to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes

   Author : Xudong Huang; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; gene expression; high-fat intake; RT-PCR; mitochondrial genes; cathepsin L; Shc; IRS-2; IRS-1; GS; cDNA differential display; Insulin resistance; type 2 diabetes; sekretion; diabetologi;

   Abstract : The metabolic defects of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes can result from changes in gene expression and protein functions due to genetic and environmental influences. The aim of this study was to identify abnormally expressed genes associated with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, and further to test whether possible defects are inherited or acquired.

6. 4. The sites and mechanisms of postoperative insulin resistance

   Author : Jonas Nygren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Surgery; Insulin resistance; Glucosemetabolism; Glucose clamping technique; Gastric emptying; Immobilization; Preoperative fasting; ICF-I; Hospital stay; Stableisotopes ISBN 9;

   Abstract : In Sweden with nine million inhabitants, 450,000 operations (outpatients excluded) are performed every year resulting in 2,250,000 treatment days in hospital. Surgical operations are part of the treatment for 44% of all patients admitted to hospital care occupying 24% of all hospital beds. READ MORE

7. 5. Studies on glucagon secretion in patients with type 1 diabetes : clinical and experimental studies

   Author : Per Oskarsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : C-peptide; CSII; CIPII; gluacon; insulin infusion test; severe hypoglycaemia; type 1 diabetes;

   Abstract : Hypoglycaernia is the main limiting factor reaching normo-glycaemia in type I diabetic patients. The risk of hypoglycaemia increases usually with improvements in metabolic control. The annual prevalence of severe episodes of hypoglycaemia in intensively treated patients is reported to be in the range 20-80%. READ MORE
