Rate My Professor Venus Michaels

Venus Michaels is a postgraduate student in the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health at the University of Otago, located at Dunedin Hospital in Dunedin, New Zealand. Her research activities are centered within the Division of Health Sciences, focusing on advancements in diabetes management for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. This includes studies on automated insulin delivery systems, hybrid closed loop therapies, continuous glucose monitoring, and related clinical outcomes such as glycaemic control, time in range, and HbA1c levels.

Michaels has co-authored several peer-reviewed articles and conference contributions. Key publications include 'Automated Insulin Delivery for Young People with Type 1 Diabetes and Elevated A1c' (NEJM Evidence, 2024), which demonstrated improvements in glycaemic metrics over 12 weeks; 'Parental perspectives following the implementation of advanced hybrid closed loop therapy in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes: a CO-PILOT sub-study' (Diabetic Medicine, 2024); 'Effects of 12-Week Freestyle Libre 2.0 in Children with Type 1 Diabetes: The WiSH Study' (Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics, 2023); 'Predictors of glycaemic improvement in children and young people with type 1 diabetes using automated insulin delivery: Secondary analysis of the CO-PILOT trial' (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, 2025); and contributions to abstracts at ATTD 2025 and NZSSD ASM 2024, such as on experiences with Simplera sync sensors and carbohydrate counting relationships.
