Research results

Many of the Centre's researchers have been responsible for discovering and contributing to real game-changers, making a difference to children with diabetes.

Mental health and wellbeing

We are trying to understand what underlies mental health problems in young people with diabetes, with a school-related focus, and how we can best treat them.

Exercise

Our research focuses on what are the best ways for patients with type 1 diabetes to exercise safely.

Technology

Much of our research focuses on the safety and the use of emerging technologies for insulin pumps and other diabetes treatment technology.

Association between Congenital Anomalies and Late-Onset Bacterial Infections in Neonates Admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units in Australia and New Zealand

Compromised neonatal intensive care unit neonates are at risk of acquiring late-onset infections (late-onset sepsis [LOS]). Neonates born with congenital anomalies could have an additional LOS risk. 

Psychometric evaluation of the Comprehensive Autistic Trait Inventory in autistic and non-autistic adults

Measures of autistic traits are only useful – for pre-diagnostic screening, exploring individual differences, and gaining personal insight – if they efficiently and accurately assess autism as currently conceptualised while maintaining psychometric validity across different demographic groups. We recruited 1322 autistic and 1279 non-autistic adults who varied in autism status (non-autistic, diagnosed autistic, self-identifying autistic) and gender (cisgender men, cisgender women, gender diverse) to assess the psychometric properties of the Comprehensive Autistic Trait Inventory, a recently developed measure of autistic traits that examines six trait domains using 42 self-report statements.
