  2. 1. Behavior change intervention and fear of hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes

    Author : Therese Anderbro; Unn-Britt Johansson; Jan Lisspers; Erik Moberg; Linda Gonder-Frederick; Sophiahemmet Högskola; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Type 1 diabetes; Fear of hypoglycemia; Psychometrics; Behavior modification; Cognitive behavior therapy; Behavioral medicine; Glycemic control; type 1 diabetes;

    Abstract : Introduction: Individuals with type 1 diabetes require lifelong insulin supply as well as behavioral adjustments for good treatment result. Only a minority reach the goal for glycemic control set in order to reduce the risk of severe long-term complications. READ MORE

  4. 2. Glucose and ketone body metabolism : with emphasis on ketotic hypoglycemia

    Author : Jenny Alkén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Ketone bodies; glucose production; SCOT deficiency; hypoglycemia;

    Abstract : Idiopathic ketotic hypoglycemia is characterized by hypoglycemia and elevated levels of ketone bodies (beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate) during fasting. The affected children are otherwise healthy and they usually present with the condition before 5 years of age. READ MORE

  5. 3. Clinical studies of glucose variability and hypoglycemia in adult patients with type 1 diabetes

    Author : Joakim Bragd; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Diabetes mellitus type 1 is a condition characterized by elevated blood glucose values due to impaired insulin production. This condition is associated with increased morbidity from micro- and macrovascular complications. Studies have shown that lowering blood glucose reduces the incidence of these complications.

  6. 4. Predictors of long-term glycemic control, pancreatic function and BMI trajectory in children with type 1 diabetes

    Author : Annika Grönberg; Per-Ola Carlsson; Anders Forslund; Klas Ekström; Gun Forsander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endokrinologi och Diabetologi; Endocrinology and Diabetology; Pediatrik; Pediatrics;

    Abstract : Background: The maintenance of normal metabolic control underpins all management of insulin dependent diabetes whether in terms of preserved beta-cell function, body composition, or family support. The hypothesis of this work was that preserved C-peptide predicts better glycemic control and lowers risk of severe hypoglycemia. READ MORE

  7. 5. Lipid‐modifying and glucose-lowering therapies in clinical practice : The impact of guidelines and changing reimbursement schemes

    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : cardiovascular disease, which is still a major cause of death that creates large burdens to society in terms of costs and morbidity. Dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus are the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and national and international guidelines recommend lipid-modifying and glucose-lowering treatments for prevention.
