Researchers at Ulster University would like to recruit women with type 1 or type 2 #diabetes, who are experiencing/have experienced menopause or perimenopause symptoms to take part. They hope to identify the gap in knowledge about how peri/menopause can affect diabetes, and vice versa. Findings from the study could help inform future services and support for women. 

Researchers at Liverpool John Moores University would like to recruit people:

•    aged 18+
•    who are living with type 2 diabetes and a heart condition (such as angina, heart attack or coronary heart disease)
•    who speak the English language and can give informed consent to take part in a study.

Researchers at Hertfordshire University would like to recruit people aged 18+ living with type 1 diabetes, who have been diagnosed in the last five years and have been using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and glucose technologies for at least six months.

The study seeks to understand how people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes adapt to the use of blood sugar monitoring devices, and whether this impacts on their relationship to food and eating behaviours. 

Taking part will involve attending an online interview which will take up to one hour.  

Researchers at the University of Brighton would like to hold a focus group with people aged 16-24 who have been living with type 1 diabetes during their years at secondary school/high school and who find diabetes difficult or frustrating. The study aims to find ways to help support young adults with diabetes.

Researchers at the University of Surrey would like to recruit people aged 14-18 with type 1 diabetes to take part in a study that will help increase their self-compassion and teach them skills and techniques to be more kind and caring to themselves. Previous research has shown that self-compassionate acts and being kinder to ourselves can increase our physical and mental wellbeing. 

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 are inviting adults (18+) living in the UK with type 1 diabetes to take part in a new study exploring the link between diabetes and stress-related experiences. 

The study is the first in the UK to investigate how trauma may affect emotional well-being and self-care among people with T1D. 

Researchers at the University of Roehampton would like to recruit people aged 18-65 years, with prediabetes (HbA1c between 39-46mmol/mol) and without prediabetes, to participate in a study that aims to investigate the effects of seaweed extracts and a Mediterranean diet on health and blood sugar levels.

The study has three arms:

Researchers at the University of Hertfordshire would like to recruit people aged 18 and over, living with type 1 diabetes and who've experienced an eating disorder or disordered eating (T1DE) to take part in a study that is exploring individual’s experiences of and relationship with T1DE, and how their identity has been impacted.

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.
