The Kids Research Institute Australia have shown that genetic variations that influence BMI and diabetes are similar to those in non-Aboriginal populations.
New research from Perth's The Kids Research Institute Australia has shown the local relevance of a worldwide pattern of increased risk of childhood type 1 diabetes.
Almost 30% of 14-year-old Australian children fall within a group identified as being at future increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes or stroke
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that exercise in cool water results in a greater decrease in blood glucose concentration than in thermoneutral water or on land in individuals with type 1 diabetes.
This study evaluated the association between insulin regimen, hospitalization for acute diabetes complications, and related health care costs in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Hospital admissions for diabetic ketoacidosis or hypoglycemia between January 5, 2022, and April 30, 2024, were analyzed in Western Australian children with T1D. Admissions due to newly diagnosed T1D were excluded. Incidence rate ratios were calculated using generalized estimating equations, adjusted for age, diabetes duration, and socioeconomic status.
Type 1 diabetes in First Nations peoples is low yet type 2 diabetes is at epidemic proportions. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of islet autoimmunity in First Nations women with dysglycaemia and its association with clinical features.
Although it is well established that youth with type 1 Diabetes (T1D) experience high rates of distress, current clinical care is often under-resourced and unable to provide sufficient or timely psychological support. The current study was designed to evaluate the safety, usability and feasibility of 'COMPASS,' a self-compassion chatbot intervention.
Digital interventions have emerged as promising tools to support mental well-being in diabetes. This review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of digital health interventions in improving mental health outcomes among adults with diabetes, as well as assess the methodological quality of relevant studies and provide a commentary on research gaps and future directions.
The rates of obesity and type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children and adolescents are increasing in many settings worldwide, but data on weight gain in this group are limited in New Zealand. We examined temporal body mass index (BMI) changes and associated factors in young people with T1D in a mixed urban-rural region.
Individuals living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at an increased risk of experiencing psychological distress; however, there remains a scarcity of scalable and widely accessible support services, particularly for adolescents and young adults. To address this gap, digital mental health interventions are becoming an increasingly important area of innovation in diabetes care.
