About Us
Who We Are
Global Diabetes Research Ltd (GDR) is a registered Australian charity committed to improving the lives of people living with diabetes. We focus on innovative research aimed at enhancing early detection, treatment, and long-term management of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Our Mission
To advance health through evidence-based research that leads to better outcomes for individuals living with or at risk of diabetes.
What We Do
GDR addresses critical gaps in diabetes care by developing practical, research-backed solutions. We focus on:
- Early detection through point-of-care devices that identify insulin resistance years before prediabetes appears.
- Emergency treatment solutions for hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar), including a self-administered two-step solution currently in research and clinical trial phases.
- Safe weight loss research that addresses the nutritional deficiencies and muscle loss linked to GLP-1 drugs used by many Australians with type 2 diabetes.
Our Vision
A future where diabetes is detected earlier, managed more effectively, and treated safely—improving quality of life and reducing long-term complications.
