Researchers at Cardiff University would like to recruit people aged 18 and over, from a South Asian background and living with type 1 diabetes to take part in their study. They hope to explore the experiences of the South Asian voice in the diagnosis and management of type 1, to inform future research and clinical practices. 

Researchers at King's College London are seeking participants aged 18 and over, with any type of diabetes and currently using an insulin pen, for a study on lipohypertrophy. This is a common side effect of insulin use, where lumps of fat form under the skin at injection sites. It can cause the body to take in less insulin than it should, potentially leading to serious complications. And so the study aims to develop new technology for insulin injection to prevent this issue.

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 University Medical Center Utrecht (on behalf of EU/EFPIA Innovative Medicines Initiative Joint Undertaking Trials@Home) would like to recruit people aged over 18 with type 2 diabetes, who are treated with insulin already but not optimally controlled, to take part in a clinical trial testing a long-acting basal insulin (Toujeo®). They hope to find out if people can participate in this trial at their own homes, with researchers at Newcastle Trust following their treatment remotely.

Researchers at University of Abertay would like to recruit people aged over 18 with diet-related conditions, including diabetes, to see if and how the digital food ordering app, Reveal My Food, could support people’s daily dietary decisions. The researchers hope this tool could potentially ensure the safety and improve the quality of the diet of employees in larger workplaces.

Researchers at University of West London would like to recruit people aged over 18 living with a long-term condition, including diabetes, to take part in a study to help them understand and improve the user experience of mobile health apps in hospital.

Taking part involves a10-minute online survey. Additionally, please contact the researcher if you are also interested in participating in the optional interview. 

Researchers at the University of Oxford would like to recruit people over the age of 18 who have experience of psychosis and at least 2 long-term physical health conditions, including diabetes to take part in their study. They hope to improve the care of people living with psychosis and multiple long-term conditions by co-designing resources based on their living experiences.  

Vaccines remain the best way to protect against coronavirus (Covid), but other treatments called antivirals have now been developed that can be used to treat people as soon as possible after they've been infected.

Researchers at Our Future Health would like to recruit 5 million people aged 18 and over to take part in a new study designed to help researchers discover new ways to prevent, detect and treat common health conditions like diabetes, cancer, and dementia.
