Diabetes clinical trials are an essential part of the development of new interventions and technologies and tests that may help to improve the way you manage your diabetes or improve outcomes and the health care of others.
Clinical trials are research investigations in which people volunteer to test new treatments, interventions or tests as a means to prevent, detect, treat or manage various diseases or medical conditions. Some investigations look at how people respond to a new intervention* and what side effects might occur.respond to a new intervention* and what side effects might occur.
This helps to determine if a new intervention works, if it is safe, and if it is better than the interventions that are already available. Clinical trials might also compare existing interventions, test new ways to use or combine existing interventions or observe how people respond to other factors that might affect their health (such as dietary changes).

- Receive expert clinical support from a team of health care professionals
- Outcomes: You may find that your HbA1C and glucose variability alter whilst participating
- You will have exposure to new type 1 diabetes technology
- You will be contributing to data collections that will be utilised to help relieve the impact and burden of type 1 diabetes in the future
