National Diabetes Week
During National Diabetes Week, we've celebrated a year of the Rio Tinto Children's Diabetes Centre; A JDRF Global Centre of Excellence, we've launched our diabetes nutrition videos, celebrated out first ENDIA study graduate and we've thanked our diabetes community, researchers and supporters.
Here's our recap of National Diabetes Week 2023
Nutrition videos
We are excited to launch a series of nutrition videos, exploring difficult daily tasks such as counting carbohydrates and managing insulin and blood glucose levels with everyday food choices for a family.
These videos were based on feedback from the diabetes community and reviewed by expert dietitians, on areas that are often tricky.
WA's first ENDIA graduate
This week, we celebrated our first WA ENDIA study graduate! For Michael and his family, it's been 10 years of volunteering research samples, 28 visits, 130 swab samples and 24 blood samples. We believe all this effort deserves to be celebrated! Thank you, Michael, for helping us understand more about T1D we have enjoyed watching you grow.
Sport coaching resources
After interviewing over 30 WA sports coaches, parents and players with T1D we have developed a draft set of educational resources to help coaches support youth with T1D participate more safely in community sport.
These resources are currently with our consumers for their feedback. The next steps will be piloting our resources with WA sport coaches before we officially launch these resources into the sporting community. Stay tuned!
If you are, or know, a community sports coach that would like to help us with the next steps of our study, please get in contact.
