Research

Closed Loop Study - Multicentre

A Closed-Loop System will potentially have a major impact upon acute and chronic complications of diabetes as well as upon their quality of life

Research

Western Australian DNA and Longitudinal Serum Bank for Weight Regulation

This resource will allow researchers to carry out studies which will look at the genetic causes of excessive weight gain and identify biomarkers

Research

National Hybrid Closed-Loop Outpatient Trial

The national Hybrid Closed-Loop Outpatient Trial will test the use of an automated insulin delivery system to see if it is better at optimising blood glucose levels than standard therapy.

Research

The time lag prior to the rise in glucose requirements to maintain stable glycaemia during moderate exercise in a fasted insulinaemic state is of short duration

There is a 20-min low exogenous glucose demand period during which the glucose requirements to maintain stable glycaemia do not increase during moderate exercise

Research

ISPAD Clinical Practice Consensus Guidelines 2018: Exercise in children and adolescents with diabetes

Promotion of regular physical activity is an integral part of diabetes care delivery and health care providers should promote this message at every available opportunity

Research

Meta-analysis of epigenome-wide association studies in neonates reveals widespread differential DNA methylation associated with birthweight

We find that DNA methylation in neonatal blood is associated with birthweight, with a difference in birthweight ranging from -183 to 178 grams per 10% increase in methylation

Research

Higher ultraviolet radiation during early life is associated with lower risk of childhood type 1 diabetes among boys

Population-level ecological studies show type 1 diabetes incidence is inversely correlated with ambient ultraviolet radiation (UVR) levels. We conducted a nested case–control study using administrative datasets to test this association at the individual level.

Research

Meal-time glycaemia in adults with type 1 diabetes using multiple daily injections vs insulin pump therapy following carbohydrate-counting education and bolus calculator provision

To compare meal-time glycaemia in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus managed with multiple daily injections vs. insulin pump therapy, using self-monitoring blood glucose, following diabetes education.

Research

Substantial intra‐individual variability in post‐prandial time to peak in controlled and free‐living conditions in children with Type 1 diabetes

The optimal time to bolus insulin for meals is challenging for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Current guidelines to control glucose excursions do not account for individual differences in glycaemic responses to meals.
