Blood glucose management around exercise is challenging for youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Previous research has indicated interventions including decision-support aids to better support youth to effectively contextualize blood glucose results and take appropriate action to optimize glucose levels during and after exercise. Mobile health (mHealth) apps help deliver health behavior interventions to youth with T1D, given the use of technology for glucose monitoring, insulin dosing, and carbohydrate counting.
Regular physical activity and exercise (PA) are cornerstones of diabetes care for individuals with type 1 diabetes. In recent years, the availability of automated insulin delivery (AID) systems has improved the ability of people with type 1 diabetes to achieve the recommended glucose target ranges. PA provide additional health benefits but can cause glucose fluctuations, which challenges current AID systems.
For National Diabetes Week, we sat down with Dr Keely Bebbington to talk about her amazing work in research.
Introducing the Rio Tinto Children's Diabetes Centre: A JDRF Global Centre of Excellence
The JDRF Global Centre of Excellence is being driven by two of Australia’s leading diabetes researchers and clinicians, Professors Liz Davis and Tim Jones based at The Kids Research Institute Australia and Perth Children’s Hospital.
The Centre includes researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia’s Diabetes Research Team and the Diabetes Service at the Perth Children’s Hospital.
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease that results from the immune system attacking the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. Unlike type 2 diabetes which is potentially preventable, type 1 is a non-preventable disease - currently, its exact cause is not known and there is no cure.
The new automated insulin delivery system by MyLife Diabetes Care is now available on android devices from October 24, 2022.
The Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH) Adolescent Diabetes Service (ADS) clinics have had several updates thanks to your feedback, including the introduction of “Welcome to Ads group sessions” for teenagers.
