Researchers at University of Bath would like to recruit people living with type 2 diabetes and whose total household income is less than £36,700 a year to take part in a study to explore perceptions and decisions around type 2 diabetes education.

To gain an in-depth understanding of your individual diabetes experience, we will ask you to create a timeline that captures the chronological sequence of events, decisions, and emotional experiences you have had throughout your journey with type 2 diabetes. You'll then discuss this in a one-to-one interview.

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 York St. John University would like to recruit people:

•  aged 18 or over;
•  who identify as having a disability or a health condition (such as diabetes) that they may consider to be disabling;
• and/or identify as neurodivergent

 to take part in a study exploring people's experiences of questionnaires that assess eating disorders in research and care settings.

Researchers from Liverpool John Moores University are inviting:

• adults living with both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes;
• adults living with either condition (must be at high risk of developing the other condition);
• and healthcare or community professionals supporting people with these conditions

to take part in a study exploring experiences of health-related stigma.

Researchers at Imperial College London would like to recruit adults living with prediabetes, or diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with HbA1c between 48 and 52 mmol/mol, to take part in a study that is looking to see how the diabetes drug, semaglutide, may prevent steroid-induced diabetes. 

Who: Individuals aged 18-40 living with type 1 diabetes who can attend the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff.

What: Giving two blood samples, one in the morning between 7-9am and another 10-14 hours later, at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff. Eligible participants who successfully donate both samples will be provided with a £300 voucher from Lovetoshop.

More than half of type 1 diabetes is diagnosed in adults but very little is known about how the condition develops. Researchers at the University of Bristol are conducting a study testing blood samples in the UK general population to assess people's risk of developing type 1 diabetes.

To take part people must: 
•    be living in the United Kingdom
•    be aged between 18 and 70 years.

Researchers at University of Leeds would like to recruit people aged 11-18, with type 1 diabetes, who are enrolled at a mainstream secondary school, to take part in a study that aims to understand the school lives of young people with long-term health conditions. 

They want to hear from as many young people as possible so they can understand what life is like for young people with type 1 diabetes. This will help them to work on plans to make things better in the future. 

Researchers at Ulster University would like to recruit people:

• living in Northern Ireland
• aged 18 years or older
• living with type 2 diabetes (and diagnosed more than 6 months ago)

to take part in a study that is aiming to assess diabetes-related nutrition knowledge among individuals with type 2 diabetes in Northern Ireland and examine links with dietary intake.  

The study will be conducted remotely and will involve the following:  

Are you a midlife female living with diabetes? Have you reached that stage of life when you could be peri or menopausal? We would like to learn from your experience.  

Most women don’t know this, but there’s very little research into how menopause affects diabetes - and almost none on how diabetes affects menopause.  

Perimenopause is the years before menopause, and they’re no picnic!
