Researchers at the University of Cambridge would like to recruit people aged 18 or older who have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, such as type 1 diabetes, to take part in a study that aims to improve understanding of and treatment for flares in autoimmune conditions. They want to find out how people living with autoimmune conditions define 'flares'.

Taking part involves completing an online survey, which takes approximately 45 minutes and can be paused or stopped at any time. The survey can be accessed here

Researchers would like to recruit adults (>18 years) living with type 1 diabetes who currently use hybrid closed loop insulin pumps for an in-person laboratory study.

The study aims to assess how taking regular ‘active breaks’ can influence vascular health (the health of blood vessels), blood sugars, and insulin dosages in previously sedentary people living with type 1 diabetes.

Researchers at Newcastle University would like to recruit people aged over 18, living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and have been diagnosed for least 2 years, to take part in a study that is

Researchers at the University of Birmingham would like to recruit people aged 18-66 who've been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for more than three years, use multiple daily injections or an insulin pump, and wear flashing glucose monitors, to take part in a new study. They're looking at if regular short breaks from sitting time, known as 'activity snacking' can help with glucose management in people living with type 1. 

Researchers at Cardiff University would like to recruit people aged 18 and over, from a South Asian background and living with type 1 diabetes to take part in their study. They hope to explore the experiences of the South Asian voice in the diagnosis and management of type 1, to inform future research and clinical practices. 

An international group of diabetes researchers and clinicians have established a global database of new cases of diabetes in patients with Covid-19 – called the CoviDiab Registry Project. It comes off the back of initial observations that Covid-19 could potentially trigger diabetes and the urgent need to know more.  

Researchers at Kings College London would like to recruit people 18 years and older, who have:

• been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for more than 6 months
• access to the internet and a smartphone/laptop/tablet/PC
• experience of diabetes-related distress

Researchers at a pharmaceutical company would like to recruit parental caregivers of children (between the ages of 8 and 21) recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (2 years ago or less). 

This is to take part in a study focused on understanding how caregiving may impact different aspects of their everyday lives, including productivity, any emotional and psychological impacts, and overall health-related quality of life.  

Researchers at Ulster University would like to recruit women with type 1 or type 2 #diabetes, who are experiencing/have experienced menopause or perimenopause symptoms to take part. They hope to identify the gap in knowledge about how peri/menopause can affect diabetes, and vice versa. Findings from the study could help inform future services and support for women. 

Researchers at Liverpool John Moores University would like to recruit people:

•    aged 18+
•    who are living with type 2 diabetes and a heart condition (such as angina, heart attack or coronary heart disease)
•    who speak the English language and can give informed consent to take part in a study.
