Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Stephen Twigg (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Nathan Johnson ,  A/Pr Susan McLennan ,  Prof Stephen Colagiuri ,  Prof Yufang Bi

Brief description This proposal will study people with prediabetes or a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, compared with a group with normal blood glucose, in China and in Australia. It will examine, in well defined cohorts: 1. the extent of traditional and more novel organ complications and metabolic markers early in the disease course; 2. in people with abnormal blood glucose, the potential benefits of an exercise regimen to their metabolic health, biomarkers and complications.
