Our research projects

We fund world-class diabetes research

At any one time, we have around 120 diabetes research projects making discoveries across the UK. Each of these research projects is only possible thanks to the generous support of our members, donors and local groups

Every research project is reviewed by experts and approved by our research committee and our panel of people living with diabetes. So you're supporting diabetes research of the highest scientific quality, led by researchers with the skills and experience to succeed.

Your support of our research projects means we can keep tackling the complications of diabetes and bring us one step closer to a cure.

Project Summary

Self-management programmes can empower people with type 2 diabetes to manage their condition and improve their health. But current programmes aren’t suited to the unique needs of younger people living with type 2 diabetes. Dr Michelle Hadjiconstantinou is testing a new digital self-management programme designed for and with this group and working out how it could be slotted into NHS care. This could ensure younger people get the tailored support they need to live well with the condition.

Professor Vivien Coates will study the experiences of women with diabetes who are going through menopause to understand its impact on blood sugars and diabetes management, and where support is missing.
