Abstract:
Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is a secondary form of diabetes, associated with increasing age in subjects with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). With improved life expectancy, CFRD is anticipated to increase in prevalence in addition to its complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the use of HbA1c as an early predictor of disease, as well as investigate microvascular and macrovascular complications in an adult CF cohort attending the All Wales Cystic Fibrosis Centre. The current method of using the conventional oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to diagnose CFRD was compared to us

Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized in disordered blood glucose levels with many altered genes, proteins and metabolites. The chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes damages organ systems and makes the diabetic patients vulnerable to one or more complications. The onset of diabetes and complications in diabetes are estimated to occur 5 to 10 years before the clinical diagnosis. The early diagnosis of diabetes prevents the damage and pathological progress of diabetes and complications in diabetes. The central hypothesis of this study was that the protein N-glycosylation p

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that affects millions of people in the United States. The purpose of this project was to develop a guideline to help clinical staff provide clear and concise diabetes self-management instructions to patients in a community setting. Orem's self-care deficit theory (SCD) and health belief model (HBM) provided a platform to assess how patients' self-care deficit contributes to illness and the effect of patients' perception of illness. SCD theory and the HBM provided the framework for the development of the guideline to decrease diabetes acute complications t

Diabetes mellitus has been associated with both clinical and experimental cardiac dysfunction. Diabetic cardiomyopathy which is characterized by depressed cardiac contractility is accompanied by a variety of biochemical changes in Ca⁺⁺ metabolism. This cardiomyopathy may occur in the presence of normal coronary arteries and normal blood pressure. However, some studies have shown that hypertension is more prevalent among diabetics and can aggravate the cardiovascular abnormalities associated with diabetes.

Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease resulting from failures in the production or response to the hormone insulin. Much of the pathogenesis and mortality attributed to DM are due to the long-term complications of hyperglycaemia, which is characteristic of the disease. This thesis presents structural and functional studies of two previously uncharacterised human enzymes, dihydrodipicolinate synthase-like protein (DHDPSL) and D-xylulokinase (XK). Both enzymes were revealed to have unexplored associations with DM. DHDPSL is distantly related (~25% sequence identity) to a family of Schiff

There is increasing evidence to suggest that genetic factors are involved in the pathogenesis of microvascular complications in diabetes mellitus. Recent studies have suggested that genetic variations in the aldose reductase (ALR2) gene may contribute to the genetic susceptibility to microvascular complications. Aldose reductase is the first and rate-limiting enzyme of the polyol pathway and is implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic microvascular disease (nephropathy, retinopathy and neuropathy).

Type 2 diabetes is linked to many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, and chronic kidney failure. African American adults have a high prevalence of Type 2 diabetes with early onset of diabetes complications. Poor dietary behavior is the primary cause of Type 2 diabetes and its complications, changing dietary behaviors can prevent the onset of diabetes complications or impede existing ones. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore patients' percep

Abstract:
In patients with diabetes, hyperglycemia leads to functional impairment of endothelial cells (ECs) and microangiopathy. Inflammation and endothelial dysfunction (ED) have been associated with the development of several cardiovascular complications. Concentration of methylglyoxal (MG) - a highly reactive aldehyde is increased in diabetes. In a non-pathological state, MG is detoxified by the enzymes glyoxalase-1 (GLO1) and glyoxalase 2 in presence of glutathione. This thesis examines the role of MG accumulation in ECs and bone marrow cells (BMCs), with the consequences it has for their functio

Abstract:
This PhD project aimed to investigate the underlying genetic component of complications secondary to diabetes. This was accomplished by the combination of novel and emerging genetic technologies as well as bioinformatic approaches to probe the genome of multiple populations to determine the role of genetics in diabetic complications, specifically diabetic kidney disease and coronary artery disease. Additionally, I have had a long-standing interest in the functions of telomeres in human biology. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to incorporate this interest into this PhD thesis. Chapter 3

Abstract:
Type 2 diabetes is a heterogeneous condition, but evidence gaps exist with respect to risks and outcomes for sub-populations. The tenet of this thesis is that routinely collected clinical data captured within the eHR can be utilised for diabetes research; the eHR can provide new information with specific regard to further characterising diabetes sub-populations, which can meaningfully inform patient care. Clinical data captured in the course of usual patient care for over 20,000 patients held within the longstanding RPAH Diabetes Centre eMR was studied. Data linkage was undertaken with the Nat
