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.
This study will evaluate the effect of two types of aerobic exercise
Determining if hyperglycaemia prior to and during exercise affects the amount of carbohydrate required to maintain stable glucose levels during/after exercise
This study is looking for the causes of type 1 diabetes, so that we can find ways to prevent it.
Investigating the demographic, lifestyle and diabetes management factors associated with the incidence of severe hypoglycemia
The objectives of this study are to study the epidemiology of childhood diabetes in Western Australia from 1985 onwards.
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that exercise in cool water results in a greater decrease in blood glucose concentration than in thermoneutral water or on land in individuals with type 1 diabetes.
Adolescents living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are faced with unique challenges to nutrition management. The current Perth Children's Hospital (PCH) T1D management model includes individualised education at diagnosis and annual reviews. Currently, no group education is provided to develop self-management skills for healthy meal preparation. Teaching Kitchens offers a skills-based program in food literacy and nutrition. This feasibility study explored if a Teaching Kitchens program at PCH engaged adolescents aged between 13 and 17 years, living with T1D.
Self-monitoring of glycaemia is a cornerstone of diabetes management, particularly for people using insulin. Traditionally, glucose monitoring involved finger-pricking and measuring capillary blood glucose concentration. Continuous glucose monitors have revolutionised self-monitoring of glucose levels.
To describe the birth prevalence and characterise the genotype, phenotype and management of children with congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) in Western Australia (WA).
