Dr. Gildea's research interests in type 2 diabetes also extend to understanding the cellular mechanisms that influence macro- and microvascular function within prediabetes and ageing and the effect of different exercise training and lifestyle interventions on vascular and metabolic adaptations therein. Her work is focused on how personalised exercise prescription and other novel therapeutic interventions can improve both glycaemic and blood pressure control and reduce modifiable cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk factors that are central to reducing the burden of prediabetes, and its progression to overt type 2 diabetes, in a plight for healthy ageing. Given the increased propensity for the development of cerebrovascular disease in both type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, therapeutic interventions to either, help restore decreased cerebrovascular function, or ameliorate further deficits leading to potential cognitive decline are paramount in these burgeoning populations. Dr. Gildea hopes to bolster current efforts to advance translational science and global health by addressing the dose-response relationship of exercise on cerebrovascular health in accordance with disease and population specificity. Ultimately serving to delay potential stroke, cognitive decline and/or dementia in those living with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and subsequently bestow corresponding benefits upon patient's families, the healthcare system, and society in general.
