   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diabetic ketoacidosis; Type 1 diabetes; Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion; Multiple daily injections; Cerebral edema; Socioeconomic status; Low economic standard; Level of education;

   Abstract : Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening acute complication of diabetes. It is preventable if timely administration of sufficient amounts of insulin is initiated. A large proportion of children are affected by DKA annually, especially at onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D). READ MORE

4. 2. Beta cell function in autoimmune diabetes in young adults

   Author : Carina Törn; Celiaki och diabetes; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ketoacidosis; insulin treatment; prognostic factors; C-peptide; type 2; type 1; IA-2A; ICA; GADA; IAA; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi;

   Abstract : This thesis presents the results from a study of the first four years of diabetes in 879 patients aged 15-34 years at diagnosis. The aims of this study were to compare clinical classification with the presence of autoantibodies, to study the natural course of beta cell function during the first years of disease and to define predictive factors for the remaining beta cell function after diagnosis.

5. 3. Metabolic Control, Morbidity and Mortality in Type 1 Diabetes with Onset in Childhood/Adolescence

   Author : John Samuelsson; Karin Åkesson; Ragnar Hanås; Lena Hanberger; Ann-Marie Svensson; Jonas Ludvigsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 1 diabetes; HbA1c; Mortality; Autoimmune comorbidity;

   Abstract : Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to study mortality in individuals with onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in childhood and adolescence in Sweden, related to clinical characteristics such as metabolic control in childhood/adolescence and comorbidity.  Methods: All studies in this thesis were register-based observational studies using a nationwide and population-based quality register, the paediatric part of the Swe-dish National Diabetes Register (NDR), for identification and collection of clinical data of individuals with T1D diagnosed before 18 years of age.

6. 4. Genetic Loci Contributing to Spontaneous Autoimmune Diabetes

   Author : Jessica Fuller; Celiaki och diabetes; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Lymphopenia; BB Rat; Type 1 Diabetes; T Cell Receptor; Autoimmunity; Gimap;

   Abstract : Background and Aims: Spontaneous type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the BioBreeding (BB) rat mimics human T1D as the rats experience weight loss, polydipsia, polyuria, ketoacidosis, onset during puberty and insulin-dependency within a day after diagnosis. Because the DP rat develops T1D spontaneously, it is a prime laboratory animal for dissecting the genetics of T1D susceptibility without the need for external manipulation. READ MORE

7. 5. The initial care when a child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes

   Author : Irén Tiberg; Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hemoglobin A1c; Health Resourses; Health Care Costs; Family; Home Care Resvices; Disease Management; Patient Satisfaction; Randomised Controlled Trial; Research Design; Type 1 Diabetes;

   Abstract : When a child is diagnosed with diabetes, the symptoms may be in its most severe form with ketoacidosis, to mild symptoms of diabetes, detected incidentally. Moderate and severe symptoms of diabetes presentation require infusion therapy and thereby necessitate hospitalisation for the first few days. READ MORE
