Researchers from Liverpool John Moores University are inviting:

• adults living with both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes;
• adults living with either condition (must be at high risk of developing the other condition);
• and healthcare or community professionals supporting people with these conditions

to take part in a study exploring experiences of health-related stigma.

Researchers at UWE Bristol would like to recruit people aged 11-25 years old with a diagnosed chronic physical health condition, such as diabetes, to take part in a study that is exploring the types of support that young people with chronic (long-term) physical health conditions want as they prepare to move from child to adult healthcare teams. 

Participation can involve interviews or ‘focus groups’ (group discussions) either online or in-person. This is to discuss your experiences and opinions with people of a similar age.

Researchers at University College Cork (UCC), Ireland, are inviting people aged 18 or over living with a chronic illness who are currently employed, or who have experience of employment while living with their condition, to take part in a research study exploring workplace experiences and chronic illness disclosure.
 

The study focuses on whether individuals choose to share their condition at work and how this may influence their working lives. The research is centred on participants’ workplace experiences rather than the nature of their
condition itself.
 

Diabetes can sometimes unfortunately mean that people need to receive care on an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in hospital.

This study is part of a project working with patients, families, and healthcare staff to develop tools to help Intensive Care Units support patients and families, and better provide care to people, including those with diabetes who become seriously ill.

Researchers at King’s College London would like to recruit people with a diagnosis of a long-term condition, such as diabetes, to take part in a study that is assessing the experiences of being dismissed by healthcare services.

Taking part includes completing four online questionnaires. Participants will be reimbursed with 2x £5 vouchers for the final two questionnaires.

Researchers at the University of Hertfordshire are looking for young adults aged 18-25 years with type 1 diabetes who are currently living away from their family or parental home to take part in a study exploring the transition from parental support to independent diabetes self-management.

Researchers at Imperial College London would like to recruit adults living with prediabetes, or diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with HbA1c between 48 and 52 mmol/mol, to take part in a study that is looking to see how the diabetes drug, semaglutide, may prevent steroid-induced diabetes.
