Is prolonged high glucose really that bad for you?
Our researchers are trying to find out, but we need your help for a new study.
Years of exposure to hyperglycaemia in people with type 1 diabetes can eventually result in various health complications. These complications are largely due to oxidative stress, which has not been thoroughly investigated in the context of daily blood glucose fluctuations. This study will look at oxidative stress, blood glucose fluctuations and how it affects people living with type 1 diabetes.
Help us name our new app
Our researchers have been working with young people with type 1 diabetes to create an exercise app and we need your help to name it! The app will give personalised advice for managing diabetes and exercise and there is a prize for best name.
Ahoy young sailors!
Ready for a sea-faring adventure? Diabetes WA and Leeuwin Ocean Adventure Foundation are on the hunt for two young people with type 1 diabetes to participate in a voyage in the upcoming school holidays. Applications close August 30.
Research round up
Our researchers have been busy. Here's a look at some of their type 1 diabetes research to be published recently.
Diabetes contact numbers
There are several phone numbers to contact staff for assistance at Perth Children's Hospital's Endocrinology and Diabetes Department.
Seeking old iPhones
PCH’s Endocrinology and Diabetes Department is seeking donations of old Apple iPhones — no older than model 6 — to pass on to families starting on continuous glucose monitoring.
Study needs you!
We need recruits for our new study investigating if small amounts of protein, based on body weight, can prevent overnight lows after exercise, without causing hyperglycaemia.
