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. 

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.
