Analysis of insulin glulisine at the molecular level by X-ray crystallography and biophysical techniques (2021)
Journal Article

© 2021, The Author(s). This study concerns glulisine, a rapid-acting insulin analogue that plays a fundamental role in diabetes management. We have applied a combination of methods namely X-ray crystallography, and biophysical characterisation to pro...

Relationship between Lipohypertrophy, Injection Techniques and Education in adults with Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review (2019)
Journal Article

Introduction: This systematic review examines Lipohypertrophy (LH) in patients presenting with Type 1/2 Diabetes (T1/2DM) in relation to education and injection techniques. LH is a condition, which occurs in diabetes individuals at injection sights....

Hypoglycaemic unawareness: A systematic review of qualitative studies of significant others' (SO) supportive interventions for patients with diabetes mellitus (2018)
Journal Article

Background Hypoglycemia unawareness (HU) has been attributed to both a downward shift in central nervous system (CNS)-triggered sympatho-adrenal responses to low glycaemic thresholds and a subsequent loss of adrenergic symptoms, which, in addition...

Characterisation of insulin analogues therapeutically available to patients (2018)
Journal Article
Adams, G. G., Meal, A., Morgan, P. S., Alzahrani, Q. E., Zobel, H., Lithgo, R., …Chayen, N. (2018). Characterisation of insulin analogues therapeutically available to patients. PLoS ONE, 13(3), Article e0195010. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0195010

The structure and function of clinical dosage insulin and its analogues were assessed. This included ‘native insulins’ (human recombinant, bovine, porcine), ‘fast-acting analogues’ (aspart, glulisine, lispro) and ‘slow-acting analogues’ (glargine, de...
