Researchers at University College London are looking for people aged 18-50 who were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the last five years to take part in a study of the immune system responsible for destruction of insulin-producing cells. They hope that this will help develop future treatments for type 1 diabetes.
The study will include administration of drugs (via small tube inserted in the vein and under the skin) and giving blood and lymph node samples (via a small needle similar to the one used for standard blood tests).
Each participant will receive a compensation as a token of thanks for their time and effort given in taking part, as well as any travel expenses incurred.
