DRF funded research projects



The DRF is doing everything possible to find a cure for diabetes.

Through the very generous support of many the DRF has been able to fund research projects into all aspects of diabetes, in particular a CURE.

Here is what we are doing:

  • Supporting the Centre for Diabetes Research established by the DRF in 2005 to find a cure for diabetes.  You can read more about the Centre here

  • Supporting research projects that assist young people living with diabetes including the trial of a transition co-ordinator at SCGH and an internet program  to help reduce fear of having a hypoglycaemic attack. 

  • Finding ways to prevent complications of diabetes including diabetic retinopathy (blindness) and nephropathy (kidney failure).

  • Improving access to diabetic retinopathy screening (eye testing) in adolescents with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. .

Research over the past 100 years into diabetes has improved our understanding and treatment for people living with diabetes and brought us closer to finding a cure. Research undertaken in WA is now shared around the world and is helping find a cure more quickly.

Please make a donation to the DRF so that we can find a cure for diabetes soon.
