Good news for students

The Children’s Diabetes Centre welcomes a new Federal Government initiative to support children with Type 1 Diabetes in schools. The two-year $6 million schools education and training program will be implemented at every school with a student with Type 1 Diabetes.

Helping to relieve diabetes distress

The burden of having T1D is enormous and our researchers are conducting a study trying to understand how we can help relieve diabetes distress.

New faces

There are two new faces at the front desk at the PMH Diabetes and Endocrinology clinic so don’t forget to introduce yourself and say hi next time you visit.

Phone Requests for prescriptions

We can work together during normal appointments to make sure prescriptions are written, so please ask us if you need a prescription during clinic time.

The impact of interventions to promote physical activity in urban green space: A systematic review and recommendations for future research

A systematic review was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of interventions to encourage physical activity in urban green space.

Changes in dairy food and nutrient intakes in Australian adolescents

Dairy nutrients, such as calcium, are particularly important in adolescence, a critical time for growth and development...

Impact of the Reelin signaling cascade (Ligands-Receptors-Adaptor Complex) on cognition in schizophrenia

Our previous neurocognitive studies of schizophrenia outlined two clusters of affected subjects-cognitively spared (CS) and cognitive deficit (CD), the...

The National Paediatric Applied Research Translation Initiative (N-PARTI): using implementation science to improve primary care for Australian children with asthma, type 1 diabetes

General practice-based care for Australian children is facing low levels of clinical guideline adherence particularly in three key areas: asthma, type 1 diabetes and antibiotic use. We offer an implementation science-informed position paper, providing a broad overview of how we aim to address this issue.

Investigating the impact of autistic children's feeding difficulties on caregivers

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of children's autism characteristics, sensory profiles and feeding difficulties on caregiver-reported impact at mealtimes.

The Effect of Hypoglycemia on Spectral Moments in EEG Epochs of Different Durations in Type 1 Diabetes Patients

The potential of using an electroencephalogram (EEG) to detect hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes has been investigated in both time and frequency domains. Under hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemic clamp conditions, we have shown that the brain's response to hypoglycemic episodes could be described by the centroid frequency and spectral gyration radius evaluated from spectral moments of EEG signals.
