The Children’s Diabetes Centre was honoured to have leading international experts Laurel Messer and Professor Mike Riddell as guest speakers at its community forum and research symposium recently.

Meet Professor Mike Riddell. Mike is the co-founder of the Physical Activity and Diabetes Unit at York University in Toronto recently visited Perth to share his research on exercise and type 1 diabetes at the Children’s Diabetes Centre Community Forum.

Australia’s largest study into the causes of type 1 diabetes reached a significant milestone when it recruited its first family in Perth with three children recently.

The Federal Government will widen its continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) program next month.

Have you seen our recent letter about a new area of research we’d like to focus on to improve the heart health of kids with type 1 diabetes? More and more evidence is showing the importance of exercise and cardiovascular health but surprisingly there isn’t much research in this field.
