Diabetes is the epidemic of the 21st century and the biggest challenge confronting Australia’s health system. Around 1.8 million Australians have diabetes. This includes all types of diagnosed diabetes (1.2 million known and registered) as well as silent, undiagnosed type 2 diabetes (up to 500,000 estimated).

These approaches have been used to evaluate a variety of symptoms including dementia, gait disturbance, sleep-wake problems and hallucinations.  Some of these approaches are targeting patients who are troubled by specific symptoms, whereas other work is focused on predicting who will develop degenerative diseases at the earliest possible point in time so as to increase our chances of preventing, slowing or curing these conditions
