are/were nurses at the Diabetes Laboratory who helped us through all the clamping procedures. Their professional, calm and friendly demeanor made experiment days much easier for both us and the patients. I can honestly say that every clamp procedure we did was enjoyable, they were truly a delight to work with. Gøril and Åsne deserve extra credit for also recruiting patients and keeping track of the paper work around this, preparing the clamp procedures and keeping track of all the different blood tests.All doctors and nurses involved in recruiting patients both at the outpatient diabetes clinic at Aker, and at the Norwegian Diabetics centre. Special thanks to Kirubalini Moorthy for tirelessly recruiting new patients when we struggled to reach our goal. Also thanks to the Norwegian journal for diabetes patients, "Diabetes", for making a small article that helped us in the recruitment process.All the nurses at the nephrology department's ward that helped us with blood glucose monitoring through the overnight stay before experiment days.Kristin Godang for helping us with measurements of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Jan Olav Høgetveit (my boss's boss), who was the person to give med a position for my civilian service many years ago, and is the reason why I work here at all. Since then he has been a good friend and colleague, and he and Christian together managed to get me back to the department in a PhDposition, and later in a permanent position, which basically means job security for life. It's like being blessed by the mafia, as long as I don't murder someone, I'm good.Geir Teigstad, the director of Oslo Hospital Services (my boss's boss's boss) for approving my position and being very supportive of our work at the R&D department.
