Diabetes research can’t happen without the help of people living with diabetes

Taking part in research means that you’re helping researchers to better understand diabetes, your experiences living with it, and the experiences of your communities. You can help researchers see how their new ideas could help treat diabetes, and care for people living with it. Whether it's trying a new treatment, or filling out a questionnaire, research breakthroughs can only happen with your support.

We'd like you to have the information you need to decide what you’d like to take part in. So, we’ve put together some guidance on what you need to know about taking part in research that we hope will help.

Take a look at opportunities for getting involved in research below. You can take part in some opportunities from home, while others will involve visiting a research clinic. If something catches your eye, get in touch with the study team to find out more. Without you, research can't move forward.

Researchers at the University of Hertfordshire are looking to recruit adult men (18+) with type 2 diabetes living in London to take part in a study exploring how people manage diabetes in their daily lives.


Taking part involves a one-to-one interview lasting approximately 15-30 minutes, where participants will be asked about their experiences of managing diabetes, including diet, work, and medication.


The study aims to better understand the real-life challenges people face and to support the development of more practical and effective health interventions.
