We congratulate Prof Peter Colman on being awarded the ADS Jeff Flack Diabetes Data Award for 2020. This is great recognition for Prof Colman to improve care for diabetes patients through the use of data and research. Prof Colman worked with BioGrid Australia to first establish the BioGrid Diabetes Clinical and Research Database at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and is now used across a few diabetes centres in Australia as the clinical system to manage the care and treatment of diabetes patients. Prof Colman has been instrumental during the expansion of ADDN to include data for T1D for adults.
