9 POINTS OF PERSPECTIVE
10 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This thesis would not have been possible without the support of a great number of people. I would like to express my gratitude to all those who made this possible.
First, I would like to thank all the patients from the EQUAL study. Thank you for sharing your experiences! I would also like to express my gratitude to all staff in the EQUAL study centers for support and contribution to all studies.
Marie, my main supervisor, thank you for your patience, all the time and effort you put into the research, without you there would have been no thesis! I am very thankful for all the opportunities you have given me.
To all my supervisors, Marie, Gerd, Tora, Maarit, Peter, thank you for believing in me, for your enthusiasm and valuable discussions. I have learned so much from you all!
A special thanks goes to Kristina and Eva, my former and current head of Dietistenheten, Danderyds Sjukhus, without your flexibility, support, understanding and laughs there would never have been a doctoral thesis.
Helén, my mentor, for support, advice and encouragement.
To present and former PhD students and researchers at KI and research school in clinical epidemiology, thank you for valuable discussions, seminars and webinars.
To all my present and former dietitian colleagues at Danderyds Hospital, for all your support and understanding.
Thanks to all colleagues at Renal Medicine, Danderyds Hospital for good collaboration and support.
My renal dietitian academic team, Carla, Sintra, Gerd, Mikaela, Helén, thank you for your inspiration, creativity, support and collaboration!
To all my friends, for good talks and laughter.
And finally, my beloved family, for your patience and love. Mamma och pappa, tack för all uppmuntran! Jerrie, Jakob, Marika and Emelie you are Simply the Best ♫
