Longitudinal Type 1 and 2 Diabetes Plasma and Serum Repository

The Serum & Plasma bank was established to provide a store of samples from subjects with diabetes as well as their families.

Additional Insulin Is Required in Both the Early and Late Postprandial Periods for Meals High in Protein and Fat: A Randomized Trial

The pattern and quantity of insulin required for high-protein high-fat (HPHF) meals is not well understood. This study aimed to determine the amount and delivery pattern of insulin required to maintain euglycemia for 5 hours after consuming a HPHF meal compared with a low-protein low-fat (LPLF) meal.

Antidiuretic hormone and the activation of glucose production during high intensity aerobic exercise

This study aimed to investigate the role that antidiuretic hormone (ADH) may play in the activation of glucose production during high intensity aerobic exercise.

Exposomes and metabolic health through a physical activity lens: a narrative review

In this narrative review, we provide an overview of the role of physical activity as part of differing exposomes (our combined non-genetic exposures from conception onwards) and environmental influences on metabolic health. We discuss 'beneficial' exposomes (green/natural outdoor spaces, sun exposure, healthy diets and features of built environments) that could synergise with physical activity to prevent metabolic dysfunction, particularly that related to lifestyle diseases of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Home-based vs inpatient education for children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes

With adequate support, children newly diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes can be safely managed at home following practical skills training

ACE inhibitors and statins in adolescents with type 1 diabetes

We hypothesized that adolescents with high levels of albumin excretion might benefit from ACE inhibitors and statins, drugs that have not been fully evaluated

A 10-second sprint does not blunt hormonal counter-regulation to subsequent hypoglycaemia

A 10-second sprint is unlikely to blunt the subsequent hormonal counter-regulation to hypoglycaemia in individuals with Type 1 diabetes

Research

Use of remote monitoring with continuous glucose monitoring in young children with Type 1 diabetes: the parents’ perspective

Parents of primary school children reported that using remote monitoring and continuous glucose monitoring was a mostly beneficial experience

Research

Hypoglycaemia, cardiovascular disease, and mortality in diabetes: epidemiology, pathogenesis, and management

Study findings have suggested that hypoglycaemia is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality

High-dose intramuscular Vitamin D provides long-lasting moderate increases in serum 25-hydroxVitamin D levels and shorter-Term changes in plasma calcium

Intramuscular injection of a large bolus of Vitamin D effectively increases serum 25-hydroxyVitamin D levels without evidence of metabolic abnormality.
