Establishing the potential acceptability of treatments to preserve beta cell function in people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes

Researchers at the University of Birmingham would like to recruit people aged 16 and over, or parents/guardians of children under 16, who have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the last 2 years. This is to take part in a study that aims to help us learn more about people's views on potential treatments for those with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, and how acceptable these might be.

You are invited to participate in an online study for 1 session lasting 1.5-2 hours (face-to-face meetings can be considered) with a group of 6-8 similar participants. You would be asked to talk about your experience of diagnosis, as well as to discuss your thoughts on different potential treatments that could be used in the future for people with type 1.

You will receive a £20 Amazon gift voucher for your time.

For more information and to request the participant information sheet, please contact Sophie Beese (study research fellow) at s.beese@bham.ac.uk.
