Clinic update
With the recent changes to WA's COVID-19 restrictions, we know many of you have questions about clinic. Here is the latest update from the PCH Diabetes Service.
COVID update
As expected, in recent weeks we have seen COVID cases peak in the WA community with many of our families testing positive. Here's the latest advice from the PCH Diabetes Service.
Flu season is here
It's that time of year again... time to get your child's flu vaccination. The Paediatric Influenza Program has started at PCH. Available now until 24 July to inpatients and children attending outpatient appointments.
CGM comparison tool
Choosing a glucose monitoring device for your child is a big decision. This easy-to-use updated comparison tool has been designed by the Diabetes team to help you pick the right device for your family.
Are you our next recruit?
We are looking for young people with type 1 diabetes with a HbA1c above 8.5% to be involved in our Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop system study.
Nutrition studies
We are currently recruiting for three interesting studies your child can take part in. Watch the video and click the link below to find out more.
Transition study
Do you know someone living with T1D who has transitioned to adult diabetes care in the last 5 years? Our researchers are running a focus group to hear their ideas on how to improve the healthcare transition.
Priority setting webinar
Thank you to those who joined our first Rio Tinto Children's Diabetes Centre Priority Setting webinar. It was a great opportunity to hear from those living with T1D and the T1D community about what research is important to them.
What's important to you in a patient portal?
We are running an online focus group for people living with T1D and/or their parents and carers to gather input that will guide the application for funding to develop a secure online patient portal. The portal will provide authorised users with access to clinical and research data for an individual patient. It will also include a range of other functionality to support diabetes self-management and we’d like to hear your ideas and understand what is important to you!
Please join us online on Wednesday 25 May, 7-8.30pm AWST.
If you have an interest in this project but you're unable to attend, please email Helen at diabetes.research@health.wa.gov.au
Watch our new nutrition video!
We need your help & want your feedback! Our nutrition team have made a pilot video we hope will help families living with T1D learn about food & nutrition for diabetes management. Please watch & complete this survey
