Outcomes and experiences of families with children with type 1 diabetes on insulin pumps through subsidised pump access programs in Western AustraliaIn Australia, access to insulin pump therapy for children with type 1 diabetes is predominantly restricted to families with private health insurance. In an attempt to improve equity, additional subsidised pathways exist which provide pumps to families with reduced financial resources. We aimed to describe the outcomes and experiences of families with children commenced on pumps through these subsidised pathways in Western Australia.

CGM accuracy: Contrasting CE marking with the governmental controls of the USA (FDA) and Australia (TGA): A narrative reviewThe National Institute for Clinical Excellence updated guidance for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in 2022, recommending that CGM be available to all people living with type 1 diabetes.

The regulatory process for CGM CE marking, in contrast to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) process, is described.

Launching TRACE T1DWe are excited to launch this first-of-its-kind Australian study, monitoring glucose levels in Australian children and adolescents who have tested positive to having one or more type 1 diabetes related antibodies but do not yet need treatment with insulin.
