ENDIA milestoneThe ENDIA study — Australia’s largest study into the causes of Type 1 Diabetes— reached a significant milestone when it recruited its 700th patient in Perth.
The Rio Tinto Children’s Diabetes Centre; a Breakthrough T1D Centre of Excellence at The Kids Research Institute Australia and Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH), is a global hub for research into type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children.
Find newsletters, guidelines, publications and videos in the one spot.
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.

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 diabetesLess 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.

Following in Banting’s footsteps or straying from the path? Observations from contemporary diabetes innovationWhile advancements in the treatment of diabetes continue to rapidly evolve, many of the newer technologies have financial barriers to care, opposing the egalitarian ethos of Banting who sold his patent on insulin for a nominal cost to allow it to be made widely available. Inequity in access to new therapies drives disparity in diabetes burden with potential for these gaps to widen in the future.
