This study aimed to evaluate endothelial function in single PTX recipients.<p><p> <i>Methods</i> - Flow‐mediated dilatation (FMD) in the brachial artery was measured by ultrasound 8 weeks ...

    • Evaluation of hypoglycaemia with non-invasive sensors in people with type 1 diabetes and impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia 

      Elvebakk, Ole; Tronstad, Christian; Birkeland, Kåre I.; Jenssen, Trond Geir; Bjørgaas, Marit Ragnhild Rokne; Frøslie, Kathrine Frey; Godang, Kristin; Kalvøy, Håvard; Martinsen, Ørjan Grøttem; Gulseth, Hanne Løvdal (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-03)
      People with type 1 diabetes and impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH) are prone to severe hypoglycaemia. Previous attempts to develop non-invasive hypoglycaemia alarm systems have shown promising results, but it is not known if such alarms can detect severe hypoglycaemia in people with IAH. We aimed to explore whether a combination of non-invasive sensors could reliably evaluate hypoglycaemia ...

    • No increase in new users of blood glucose-lowering drugs in Norway 2006-2011: a nationwide prescription database study 

      Strøm, Hanne; Selmer, Randi; Birkeland, Kåre I.; Schirmer, Henrik; Berg, Tore Julsrud; Jenum, Anne Karen; Midthjell, Kristian; Berg, Christian; Stene, Lars Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Background: National estimates for the occurrence of diabetes are difficult to obtain, particularly time trends in incidence. The aim was to describe time trends in prevalent and incident use of blood glucose-lowering drugs by age group and gender in Norway during 2005–2011. Methods: Data were obtained from the nationwide Norwegian Prescription Database. We defined prevalent users of “insulins ...
