Lived experiences of communicating about diabetes and disordered eating: innovating diabetes service guidelines

Have you been diagnosed with diabetes? Would you like to help shape how diabetes clinicians communicate with people about food and eating?

A study is being conducted by a team of researchers at Warwick Medical School, the University of Birmingham, and Coventry & Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust. The purpose of this study is to better understand people’s experiences of communicating with diabetes clinicians about food, weight, and disordered eating, and to co-produce communication guidelines for clinicians.

Our study uses a participatory approach, meaning that if you take part, you will actively collaborate with the research team to develop new communication guidelines for diabetes clinicians, create research publications, and advise on next steps for future research. 

Participating in the study will include taking part in three group discussions (two hours each) and reviewing documents. You will be paid for your time.

If you’re 18 or older and have diabetes, you may be eligible to take part. 

If you’d like to know more about this study and what participation would involve, please contact the lead researcher, Dr Karin Eli at karin.eli@warwick.ac.uk
