Summary
Indigenous Australians with diabetes are at high risk of vision loss due to diabetic eye disease. Training and implementation of local retinal imaging, regional reading, and web-based systems can improve communication and fragmented service delivery. We will train and evaluate, in an indigenous Australian setting, an open-source remote-access IT solution to improve eye care and outcomes, adaptable to national and international locations.

Summary
Despite intensive intervention some individuals with type 1 diabetes develop complications. There remains an urgent need for means to identify patients at risk of complications and new targets and therapies for preventing, arresting, treating and reversing them. The primary objective of the Diabetes Complications Centre of Research Excellence (DC-CRE) is to translate novel experimental findings into preventive/treatment strategies for the management of diabetes and its complications.
