BGAThome Trial
BGAThomeWA is a web-based intervention designed to help people with type 1 diabetes to improve the accuracy of their detection and interpretation of blood glucose symptoms and other relevant cues to reduce the incidence of hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia. The program is an adaptation of BGAThome, developed and tested by a team at the University of Virginia in the US.
Thanks to a grant from the Diabetes Research Foundation of WA, for the past 18 months Professor Skinner and a team from the Combined Universities Centre for Rural Health have been working with Diabetes WA to review and adapt BGAThome for people living in Western Australian. The result is BGAThomeWA.
Over the coming months, between 40 and 50 people with type 1 diabetes will trial the BGAThomeWA intervention. The results of the trial will be presented at a DRFWA event to mark World Diabetes Day, then made more widely available via the DRFWA and Diabetes WA websites. Pending the outcome of the trial, a plan will be developed for the future of BGAThomeWA. If the results are positive, this will include consulting with health professionals about the project with a view to making the intervention widely available to people with diabetes via the Diabetes WA website.
If you would like to be part of the trial then please contact Gillian Vinton at the Combined Universities Centre for Rural Health on
gillian.vinton@cucrh.uwa.edu.au
. Please note that trail participants must be at least 18 years old and have had type 1 diabetes for a minimum of two years.
