There are 589 million adults globally and almost 1.9 million Australians live with diabetes. Diabetes is the fastest-growing chronic condition in the world. We aim to improve the lives of people with diabetes by identifying risk factors for complications, and national and global trends in diabetes complications.
Our work is focused on developing more tailored prevention strategies, and identifying biomarkers to help us understand disease progression. We’re also establishing clinical trials of new technologies and treatments, and we remain firmly focused on developing potential cures for diabetes.
