Take part in diabetes research PREDICT Study Progression of diabetic complications

Are you interested in helping to find better ways of treating and controlling diabetes? The Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute has commenced a major new research study to discover why and how the serious complications of diabetes such as kidney failure develop.

Participants receive a comprehensive diabetes assessment, provide blood and urine samples and are then tracked over several years.

If you have diabetes, and live in an inner Melbourne suburb (from Thornbury in the north to Hampton in the south, and from Newport in the west to Camberwell in the east), you may be eligible to take part and help us prevent some of the complications of diabetes.
