A new Brisbane clinical trial is exploring a treatment that may help people living with type 1 diabetes protect their body’s own insulin production.

If successful, this could mean better blood sugar control and fewer complications for years to come.

You may be eligible if you:
✅ Are aged 18–55
✅ Have had type 1 diabetes diagnosed in the last 5 years
✅ Are using insulin

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members are strongly encouraged to take part.
The study is committed to delivering a culturally safe experience and aims to contribute meaningfully to better outcomes for Indigenous communities impacted by type 1 diabetes.

What’s involved?

- 5 visits over 5 weeks at Princess Alexandra Hospital (Brisbane)
- Free parking + café voucher provided
- Professional and caring research team

Interested? Get in touch with the research team for any questions or to take part:

📍 Made in QLD: A Breakthrough in T1D Treatment

After 25 years of dedicated research, Queensland scientists have reached a major milestone in the fight against Type 1 diabetes. A promising new drug, ASITI-201, is now undergoing human trials—and it could change the future of diabetes treatment as we know it.

Unlike traditional therapies that manage the disease, ASITI-201 aims to retrain the immune system to stop attacking the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. The hope is that this will delay, reduce, or even eliminate the need for daily insulin injections altogether. This is not just about treatment: it's about potential prevention!

The clinical trial is currently recruiting participants diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes within the past five years. Early results are encouraging, and if the trial continues to show positive outcomes, this could mark the beginning of a new era in diabetes care for Aussies.

Diabetes is all about diet and exercise?
Our governments need to be held accountable for how they regulate availability of food choices, cost of living and acknowledge the impact of these on our most vulnerable for diabetes to ever be a preventable illness.
