New research from the Children’s Diabetes Centre has found a pump that suspends insulin delivery when BGLs fall can halve the incidence of hypoglycaemia.
Meet Jake O’Brien, the first patient to take part in the longest and largest at-home trial of a hybrid closed-loop insulin pump.

We evaluated case capture in Queensland and Western Australia using statewide laboratory and clinical data and complementary surveillance data collected via the APSU.
Annual estimates of seasonal influenza vaccine effectiveness can guide global risk communication and vaccination strategies to mitigate influenza-associated illness. We aimed to evaluate vaccine effectiveness in countries using the 2023 southern hemisphere influenza vaccine formulation.
