Impact of Exercise Intervention on the Phenome (Metabolism and Predictive Complications) in Well Characterised Prediabetes and New Onset Type 2 Diabetes Cohorts in China and Australia (TheDiabeEx.JointStudy). [ 2016 - 2020 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Stephen Twigg (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Susan Mclennan ,  Dr Nathan Johnson ,  Prof Stephen Colagiuri

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.
