Understanding diabetes care and outcomes in HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients in South Africa
Evidence of the burden of diabetes, gaps in the diabetes cascade-of-care and the impact of care and treatment on diabetes outcomes in HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients in South Africa
This study is looking at how diabetes care can be improved for people with and without HIV in South Africa, and it will use data to find better ways to help manage diabetes for everyone.

What this research studies
This research investigates the challenges and gaps in diabetes care for both HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients in South Africa. It aims to analyze large-scale datasets to identify effective policies and interventions that can improve diabetes management and clinical outcomes. The project will involve training in advanced data science techniques to enhance the understanding of diabetes and its relationship with HIV. By focusing on both communicable and non-communicable diseases, the research seeks to provide comprehensive insights into patient care.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include adults living with diabetes, particularly those who are also HIV-positive or HIV-negative in South Africa.
Not a fit: Patients outside of South Africa or those without diabetes or HIV may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved diabetes management strategies and better health outcomes for patients in South Africa.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in using large datasets to improve health outcomes in similar populations, indicating a promising approach.
