Longitudinal Type 1 and 2 Diabetes Plasma and Serum Repository

The Serum & Plasma bank was established to provide a store of samples from subjects with diabetes as well as their families.

Research

Australian Childhood Diabetes DNA Repository

Collecting DNA samples from Australian families affected by diabetes.

Research

Diabetes Translational Research

The year 2013 saw the progress in our research from purely lab-based studies towards taking a step closer to translational research.

Research

TrialNet: Pathway to Prevention

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

Research

Epigenome-wide meta-analysis of blood DNA methylation in newborns and children identifies numerous loci related to gestational age

We identified numerous CpGs differentially methylated in relation to gestational age at birth that appear to reflect fetal developmental processes across tissues

Variation in nutrition education practices in SWEET pediatric diabetes centers-an international comparison

Nutrition education is central to pediatric type 1 diabetes management. Dietary management guidelines for type 1 diabetes are evidence based, but implementation may be challenging and inconsistent. We describe variation in the practice of nutrition education across pediatric diabetes centers globally and explore associations with A1c and BMI.

Features of the metabolic syndrome in late adolescence are associated with impaired testicular function at 20 years of age

Adolescents with features of metabolic disorder or insulin resistance show impaired testicular function and altered hormone levels

Exposomes and metabolic health through a physical activity lens: a narrative review

In this narrative review, we provide an overview of the role of physical activity as part of differing exposomes (our combined non-genetic exposures from conception onwards) and environmental influences on metabolic health. We discuss 'beneficial' exposomes (green/natural outdoor spaces, sun exposure, healthy diets and features of built environments) that could synergise with physical activity to prevent metabolic dysfunction, particularly that related to lifestyle diseases of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Hypoglycaemia, cardiovascular disease, and mortality in diabetes: epidemiology, pathogenesis, and management

Study findings have suggested that hypoglycaemia is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality
