Diabetes Management Program

The Centre for Eye Research Australia, Diabetes Australia-Victoria and the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital are working together on the Diabetes Management Project (DMP), the first large Australian study to investigate the barriers to optimal diabetes management. If you are over the age of 18 years and you have type I or II diabetes, the Centre for Eye Research Australia (CERA) invites you to join the DMP to help us better understand diabetes management and to reduce the incidence of vision loss in people with diabetes. We are looking for volunteers who will participate in one interview, involving a series of questionnaires and a comprehensive eye examination. This information will be used in the development of a self-management program that aims to equip people with the skills and knowledge to effectively manage their diabetes. For more information about this study please call Theona Nicolaou contact number 99298149, theonan@unimelb.edu.au.
