Researchers led by the team at the Children’s Diabetes Centre at The Kids have taken a key step to a fully automated closed-loop insulin delivery system.
The Children’s Diabetes Centre at The Kids Research Institute Australia is leading the longest and largest at-home trial of a hybrid closed-loop insulin pump system.
Winning the support of a remote Aboriginal community paved the way for a pioneering genetics study.
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
To map and systematise existing research on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in mental health-based diabetes care contexts, identify trends and potential gaps in the literature, examine methodological limitations and highlight future research directions.
Parents of young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at risk of experiencing elevated stress due to their responsibilities as caregivers. Despite this, there are limited interventions designed to enhance resilience in this population of parents. This pilot randomised controlled trial aimed to examine the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of the Promoting Resilience in Stress Management for Parents (PRISM-P) intervention in parents of young children with T1D.
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.
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a 'family illness'; diagnoses and management can be perceived as invasive or traumatic. Caregivers bear the brunt of the diagnostic shock, influencing their child's experience. Children and adolescents may grapple with the psychological effects of past/ongoing medical trauma. Additionally, adolescents may struggle with their mental health as they navigate tensions between caregiver involvement and their developmental need for autonomy.
