The period of transition between paediatric (child) services and adult-based services is a sensitive one for patients with diabetes.
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
People living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) can participate in all forms of physical activity, but it can sometimes be a little more challenging.

Our goal is to accelerate the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based models of care for children and young people living with 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.
The pattern and quantity of insulin required for high-protein high-fat (HPHF) meals is not well understood. This study aimed to determine the amount and delivery pattern of insulin required to maintain euglycemia for 5 hours after consuming a HPHF meal compared with a low-protein low-fat (LPLF) meal.
Dietary fat and protein impact postprandial hyperglycaemia in people with type 1 diabetes, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Glucoregulatory hormones are also known to modulate gastric emptying and may contribute to this effect.
Type 1 diabetes presents significant challenges for optimal management. Despite intensive glycaemic control being the standard of care for several decades, glycaemic targets are infrequently achieved and the burden of complications remains high. Therefore, the advancement of diabetes management technologies has a major role in reducing the clinical and economic impact of the disease on people living with type 1 diabetes and on health care systems.
