The effect of interrupting sitting with regular active breaks on peripheral and cerebral blood flow in adults with type 1 diabetes

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.

The researchers require participants to visit the labs of either the University of Birmingham, Liverpool John Moores University, or Manchester Metropolitan University on two occasions.  

Participants will receive a £50 voucher and their travel expenses will be covered.
