Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and post traumatic stress disorders (PTSD): Prevalence, Predictors, mechanisms and Impacts on Self-Care: A Mixed-Methods Study

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. 

Taking part involves completing an anonymous online survey (15–20 minutes) about diabetes management, emotions, and life experiences. Participants who are happy to take part in interviews may also be invited to a follow-up interview to share more about their experiences and thoughts on support needs. 

The findings will be used to shape future diabetes care and mental health support services.
