Investigating the effect of fat and protein content of a standardised carbohydrate meal on the post-prandial glycaemic response in children with type 1 diabetes

This study is helping us to learn how type 1 diabetes develop and ways to delay and prevent it.

Using the WA Data Linkage System to provide information of the incidence and relative risk of T1D co-morbidities and mortality during early adulthood.

Children with early-stage (pre-symptomatic) type 1 diabetes are currently identified primarily via research-based screening programmes in Australia. Once identified, families live with the knowledge that their child has an increased chance of developing symptomatic, lifelong, insulin-requiring type 1 diabetes but have no specific clinical pathway available to them in Western Australia for accessing tailored support or education. This project aimed to co-design a new clinical pathway to address this unmet need.

Congratulations to four outstanding early-career researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia, who have been awarded BrightSpark Foundation fellowships and project funding for 2026.

A lifelong auto-immune condition that can affect anyone, but is most commonly diagnosed in childhood.

The teenage years can be a challenging time for families, a period made even more difficult if a child has type 1 diabetes.

Recent diabetes technology is helping 12-year-old Drina keep on top of her condition and be independent, while significantly easing the disease burden on her family.

Researchers at the Children’s Diabetes Centre at The Kids Research Institute Australia have begun researching type 2 diabetes to tackle the rising incidence of the disease among young people in Australia.
