CGM with remote monitoring makes for happy families

Parents of young children with type 1 diabetes experience significantly better quality of life and reduced fear of hypoglycaemic episodes when given remote access to their child's continuous glucose monitoring, new Children's Diabetes Centre research has found.

Gifted pump proves a life changer for family

Oliver Bowman is too young to understand the enormity of having type 1 diabetes but his young parents Brooke and Aidan know all too well the reality of having a child with a chronic disease.

Insulin pumps give better glycaemia outcomes for children than MDI

Children with type 1 diabetes using an insulin pump have better glycaemic control than to those using multiple daily injections (MDI) of insulin, a new Children's Diabetes Centre study has found.

Getting the most out of the CGM scheme

If your child/adolescent has been approved to use CGM but decides they do not want to use it, it is important to complete a NDSS change/termination form, which needs to be returned to your clinic team.

‘Feeling like you can't do anything because you don't know where to start’—Parents' Perspectives of Barriers and Facilitators to Accessing Early Detection for Children at Risk of CP

Early detection of cerebral palsy (CP) risk is possible from 12 weeks corrected gestational age (CGA) using standardised assessments; however, up to half of children at risk are not referred early, missing out on early intervention. We investigated the barriers and facilitators to accessing early intervention from the perspective of parents of children who did not receive services by 6 months CGA.

Suppression of TGF-β/SMAD signaling by an inner nuclear membrane phosphatase complex

Cytokines of the TGF-β superfamily control essential cell fate decisions via receptor regulated SMAD (R-SMAD) transcription factors. Ligand-induced R-SMAD phosphorylation in the cytosol triggers their activation and nuclear accumulation. We determine how R-SMADs are inactivated by dephosphorylation in the cell nucleus to counteract signaling by TGF-β superfamily ligands.
