The Genetic Study Of Diabetic Retinopathy Risk In Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$32,628.00
Summary
Type 1 diabetes is a disorder leading to high blood sugars, which can damage the small blood vessels of the the back of the eye and potentially lead to blindness. However not all diabetics will develop blinding eye disease. Our project aims to find the genes that contribute to the development of blinding diabetic eye disease so that patients who carry the genes can be managed and treated appropriately. This will help to reduce the incidence of blindness related to diabetic eye disease.
The Role Of Exercise Intervention In The Management And Prevention Of Insulin Resistance In Reproductive Aged Women
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$57,342.00
Summary
Research will focus on the use of exercise intervention in two insulin resistant groups of reproductive aged women including women at high risk of gestational diabetes and with polycystic ovary syndrome. Insulin resistance, if left unmanaged has long term health implications and information gained from the research would provide valuable information on the efficacy of exercise intervention and its role in treatment-prevention of complications of these common conditions.
