Our track record

A list of the Children's Diabetes Centre's research track record.

Transition from child to adult services

The period of transition between paediatric (child) services and adult-based services is a sensitive one for patients with diabetes.

COVID-19 resources

We know many families have questions about the risk of COVID-19 to children with type 1 diabetes. To address these questions, Perth Children’s Hospital’s Diabetes Clinic has provided information and resources to help you navigate this tricky period.

Community Involvement Frameworks and Guidelines

The Rio Tinto Children’s Diabetes Centre is committed to increasing the community voice in diabetes research at all levels to ensure our research is

Sport Resources

People living with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) can participate in all forms of physical activity, but it can sometimes be a little more challenging.

Community of Practice

Talking about type 1 diabetes

A new research study conducted by Professor Jeneva Ohan and Dr Keely Bebbington aims to develop our understanding of how adolescents navigate these disclosure decisions, and how we can support them to feel more confident when talking to others about their diabetes.

Research

Results of an Australian trial of an automated insulin delivery (AID) system and other studies support likely benefit of AID use for many Australian adults with type 1 diabetes

Less than 20% of Australians with type 1 diabetes (T1D) meet recommended glucose targets. Technology use is associated with better glycaemia, with the most advanced being automated insulin delivery (AID) systems, which are now recommended as gold-standard T1D care. Our Australian AID trial shows a wide spectrum of adults with T1D can achieve recommended targets. Other studies, including lived experience data, are supportive. Insulin pumps are not subsidised for most Australian adults with T1D. We advocate change.
