Summer holidays here we come!
The holidays are finally here and while a lack of routine is welcomed by most, being out of routine can be challenging for families living with type 1 diabetes.
Clinical Nurse Specialist at the Perth Children's Hospital, Kath Irwine, has produced this fantastic hints and tips information sheet for those on Technology over the festive season.
Christmas nutrition tips
Christmas is fast approaching so here's a look at one of our most popular articles from Accredited Practising Dietitian Dr Amelia Harray, offering advice on how to enjoy food and stay on track with managing type 1 diabetes over the festive break.
Nutrition videos online
Earlier this year we launched a series of nutrition videos on counting carbohydrates and managing insulin and blood glucose levels with everyday food choices. These holidays are a great time to watch the videos and share with your family and friends.
Our wonderful T1D community
Last month we celebrated World Diabetes Day and what a monumental day it was. We are so proud of our T1D community who helped raise awareness and funds for T1D in different schools all across WA.
Shout out to Theo
We are proud to have so many very talented children and youth in our T1D community. Theo Grant is no exemption, this year the avid cyclist completed an everesting event - that's 335kms and 9016m of elevation.
Oral insulin study
Our researchers would like to find out whether oral insulin is useful in type 1 diabetes management and is safe for use in individuals with T1D. We are looking for participants aged 16 – 25 years, who have been living with T1D for more than 1 year, to be involved in the 12-week study.
Sports coaches needed!
We need your help to create safer environments for children with T1D to participate in sports. Our researchers have developed educational resources designed to help coaches empower kids with T1D to feel more confident taking part in community sport. The team are seeking your feedback.

Access for all newly diagnosed
Congratulations to our Models of Care research team on their $600,000 WACRF State Government grant to support research that aims to remove barriers and provide access to the most effective technologies for all children newly diagnosed with T1D. This project will start in 2024!
