Dr. Leigh Riby in collaboration with Dr. Michael Smith, Dr. Lorna Paul (Glasgow University) and Prof. Jonathon Foster (Edith Cowan University) have been awarded a small 15k grant from Diabetes UK.  The work uses assesments of cognitive function, dual tasking and postural stability to investigate the influence of diabetes and the ageing process on daily living with the view to designing interventions and compensatory strategies.
