Priority setting: Development of the South Australian Aboriginal Chronic Disease Consortium RoadMap for ActionAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Aboriginal) people in South Australia are overburdened by cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. The South Australian Aboriginal Chronic Disease Consortium (Consortium) was established in June 2017 as a collaborative partnership to lead the implementation of three state-wide chronic disease plans using a strategic approach to identifying key priority areas for action.

The Challenges of Being Physically Active: A Qualitative Study of Young People With Type 1 Diabetes and Their ParentsBenefits of physical activity are well recognized for youth with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), but being active is challenging. In this study, we aimed to investigate the challenges experienced by adolescents, their parents and young adults with T1DM when they are physically active.

Development of a Novel Mobile Health App to Empower Young People With Type 1 Diabetes to Exercise Safely: Co-Design ApproachBlood glucose management around exercise is challenging for youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Previous research has indicated interventions including decision-support aids to better support youth to effectively contextualize blood glucose results and take appropriate action to optimize glucose levels during and after exercise. Mobile health (mHealth) apps help deliver health behavior interventions to youth with T1D, given the use of technology for glucose monitoring, insulin dosing, and carbohydrate counting.

Real-world glycaemic outcomes in children and young people on advanced hybrid closed-loop therapy: A population-based study in Western AustraliaTo evaluate real-world glycaemic outcomes in children with type 1 diabetes commencing advanced hybrid closed loop therapy and to explore these outcomes based on the cohort's clinical and socioeconomic characteristics.

Short-Term Diabetic Retinopathy Status in People with Type 1 Diabetes Commencing Automated Insulin DeliveryRapid improvements in glucose control may lead to early worsening of diabetic retinopathy (EWDR). There is a need to demonstrate safety in people commencing automated insulin delivery (AID) due to the known efficacy in rapid glycemic improvement. We aimed to investigate short-term DR outcomes in people (aged ≥13 years) with type 1 diabetes after initiation of AID (use ≥6 months).

Reproducibility of plasma glucose responses to moderate-intensity exercise in individuals with type 1 diabetesTo examine the within-person variability in plasma glucose responses to moderate-intensity morning exercise in young individuals with type 1 diabetes after overnight fasting and under basal insulin conditions.

Disparities in Diabetes Technology Uptake in Youth and Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: A Global PerspectiveGlobally, nearly 9 million people are living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Although the incidence of T1D is not affected by socioeconomic status, the development of complications and limited access to modern therapy is overrepresented in vulnerable populations. Diabetes technology, specifically continuous glucose monitoring and automated insulin delivery systems, are considered the gold standard for management of T1D, yet access to these technologies varies widely across countries and regions, and varies widely even within high-income countries.
