About the centre

The Centre includes researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia’s Diabetes Research Team and the Diabetes Service at the Perth Children’s Hospital.

What is diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease that results from the immune system attacking the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. Unlike type 2 diabetes which is potentially preventable, type 1 is a non-preventable disease - currently, its exact cause is not known and there is no cure.

Research results

Many of the Centre's researchers have been responsible for discovering and contributing to real game-changers, making a difference to children with diabetes.

Mental health and wellbeing

We are trying to understand what underlies mental health problems in young people with diabetes, with a school-related focus, and how we can best treat them.

Exercise

Our research focuses on what are the best ways for patients with type 1 diabetes to exercise safely.

Technology

Much of our research focuses on the safety and the use of emerging technologies for insulin pumps and other diabetes treatment technology.
