    Australian diabetes research breakthrough!
    Last week we welcomed news of a ground-breaking Australian study, in which a commonly prescribed rheumatoid arthritis drug is showing promise to suppress the progression of type 1 diabetes in people newly diagnosed.
    The world-first human trial involving 60 participants at St Vincent's Institute of Medical Research is being led by Professors Thomas Kay and Helen Thomas. Professor Kay is an Australian Diabetes Society 2020 Kellion Award winner for his outstanding contribution to diabetes research, clinical or service areas in Australia.
    In 2003, he and his team received a Diabetes Australia Type 1 Diabetes Millennium Award.
