Type 1 Diabetes
A large focus of our clinical research is on type 1 diabetes space. We partner with a number of academic institutions, healthcare institutions, and industry partners both nationally and internationally, as well as community advocacy partners such as Diabetes Victoria and BreakThrough T1D Australia.
Our research focuses on several areas of diabetes medicine and technology, including:
- Artificial Pancreas Efficacy Studies
- Advanced Closed-Loop Efficacy
- Novel Insulins
- Renal Disease
- Hypo Unawareness
- Long Life Cannulas
- Advanced Glucose Sensors
- Dual Analyte Sensors
- Ketone Sensing
- Lactate Sensing
- Gene Modification Studies
- Early Disease Modification
- SGLT2 Inhibitors in T1D
Type 2 Diabetes
DTRG’s clinical research has expanded into the area of Type 2 Diabetes, focusing on the impact and application of diabetes technologies to the management and treatment of Type 2 Diabetes.
Our research focuses on several areas of Type 2 Diabetes medicine and technology, including:
- Duodenal Resurfacing
- SGLT2 Inhibitors
- Artificial Pancreas Application to T2D
- Glucose Sensing in T2D
Exercise Physiology
DTRG is a leading research organisation in the area of exercise physiology in diabetes.
Our Exercise Physiology team, led by Dr Dale Morrison, conducts exercise-related studies in the following areas:
- Physiology and metabolism of exercise in T1D
- Protein Ingestion in T1D
- Hypoglycemia prevention
- Recommendations and guidelines
- Development of Exercise Specific Closed Loop Algorithms

Become a participant!
Meet Kim Henshaw who is a participant in type 1 diabetes technology research
at the DTRG. Watch Kim explain what it means to her to be a participant in this important area of research
How can I be involved ?
Reach out to us if you:
Have Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes;
Are over 18 years of age;
Live live within 100 km of Metropolitan Melbourne, Australia.
Please note that many of our studies require frequent visits to our site at St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne, therefore you must be able and willing to travel to Melbourne CBD on a regular basis or on short notice during your participation.
We also have several studies involving people without diabetes:
Please also reach out to us If you DO NOT have diabetes but are interested
in participating in clinical research to help develop technologies for those with diabetes
