Researchers at the University of Exeter are inviting British Bangladeshi adults (aged 18 and over) with type 2 diabetes to take part in a study exploring how psychological, cultural, and behavioural factors influence diabetes management and how people manage their treatments. The study aims to understand what helps or hinders British Bangladeshis in following their treatment plans, with the goal of informing more culturally sensitive and accessible diabetes care.
Taking part involves a one-hour confidential interview (conducted in English or Sylheti) with a British Bangladeshi researcher, either online or by phone. Participants will be invited to share their experiences of living with diabetes, including their self-management habits, motivations, and interactions with healthcare services.
Findings from this study will be used to inform future diabetes support services and interventions for British Bangladeshi communities across the UK.
