Brief description Type 1 diabetes is a complex life-long disease that has onset in the young and carries a significant burden. Good management is crucial as it helps prevent the serious long term complications of the disease such as blindness and kidney disease. Low blood glucose or hypoglycaemia is a common side effect of insulin treatment. This research aims to explore ways to treat the disease more effectively, prevent hypoglycaemia and other diabetes complications and in so doing improve the outcomes for young people with diabetes.
