Community Conversation "What support do families with early-stage T1D need?"

What support do families with early-stage T1D need? Screening for the risk of developing T1D is now an option. But as exciting as screening is, we

Supporting Families Project Update

In early 2024, Dr Aveni Haynes and her team were awarded Telethon Trust funding for their project Supporting Families.

Diabetes researcher Dr Aveni Haynes awarded prestigious international fellowship

Congratulations Kate and Aveni

Fantastic news for two of our talented researchers whose papers were featured in the Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) 2024 Yearbook.

Supporting Families Project

Proudly funded by a Telethon Trust Research Grant, the Supporting Families project started in 2024 with the aim of co-designing a new clinical pathway for children with early stage type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Use of linked administrative and laboratory data to confirm that serum 25(OH)D levels in pregnant women can be predicted from satellite estimates of ultraviolet radiation

Serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels of pregnant women have been linked to various health outcomes in their offspring. Satellite-derived ultraviolet radiation (UVR) data have been used as a proxy for 25(OH)D levels, as individual-level cohort studies are time-consuming, costly and only feasible for common outcomes.

A surge in serum mucosal cytokines associated with seroconversion in children at risk for type 1 diabetes

Autoantibodies to pancreatic islet antigens identify young children at high risk of type 1 diabetes. On a background of genetic susceptibility, islet autoimmunity is thought to be driven by environmental factors, of which enteric viruses are prime candidates.
