Help us to keep helping others
Did you know that it costs around $140 to screen just one person for type 1 diabetes?

Our ultimate goal is to develop cheap and accurate screening for every Australian child to ensure early diagnosis, prevent hospitalisation and develop immune therapies that turn type one into type none.
We are currently working up a blood spot assay that can be collected in the home. We missed out on funding to progress this work and must now reach out directly to our supporters to develop this test.
It will play a critical role in convincing Government that universal type 1 diabetes screening both improves health and decreases health costs.
Thank you for supporting our type 1 diabetes research which ultimately aims to make type one type none.
Sincere thanks to JDRF, the Type 1 Foundation and the Lions Australia Diabetes Foundation for their generous funding.
