About us
The Diabetes Clinical Research laboratory is dedicated to improving the lives and wellbeing of people with diabetes through clinical services and research programs that directly impact management and outcomes.
We bridge the gap between discovery and daily care, ensuring our research translates into practical benefits for patients. Our work spans from investigating new treatment approaches to implementing technologies that help people manage their diabetes more effectively.
Research focus
Our key areas of interest include:
- Indigenous diabetes
Addressing the disproportionate burden of diabetes in Indigenous communities through culturally appropriate research and interventions that respect and respond to community needs. - Technology in diabetes management
Investigating how diabetes technologies — including continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps and digital health tools — can improve glucose control, quality of life and reduce the burden of daily diabetes management. - New therapeutics for type 2 diabetes
Testing emerging treatments for type 2 diabetes to expand therapeutic options and improve outcomes for people living with this condition.
Through our integrated approach combining clinical care with research, we ensure insights from our patient interactions inform our research questions, and our research findings rapidly improve the care we provide.
