Advancing care in type 1 diabetes in adults and older adults: Enhancing classification and optimising management of glycaemia and cardiovascular complications

Description: Type 1 diabetes is often thought of as a childhood condition, but most new cases occur in adults. Adults and older people with type 1 diabetes are often misdiagnosed and excluded from research. This project will explore how to better identify type 1 diabetes in adults, how blood sugar patterns and complications change with age, and how to tailor treatment to reduce risks, especially heart disease. Findings will help improve care for this growing, under-served group.
