Researchers would like to recruit adults (>18 years) living with type 1 diabetes who currently use hybrid closed loop insulin pumps for an in-person laboratory study.

The study aims to assess how taking regular ‘active breaks’ can influence vascular health (the health of blood vessels), blood sugars, and insulin dosages in previously sedentary people living with type 1 diabetes.

Researchers at the University of Salford would like to recruit adults with diabetes (any type but particularly people living with diabetes-related kidney damage (Diabetic Kidney Disease)) to take part in a study.

The aim of the study is to help people with early-stage chronic kidney disease (before kidney failure) and their families get better information and education.  

The team want to learn what information and educational interventions people have received. Taking part will involve completing a single survey that consists of 27 questions.

Researchers at Middlesex University are looking for individuals aged 18 and older to take part in a study on pain management, including pain related to diabetes.

Researchers at Oxford Brookes University would like to recruit people aged 18-25 , with type 1 diabetes, and who live in the UK to take part in a study that is examining links between people’s perceptions of how they manage their diabetes (their self-efficacy), resilience and mental wellbeing.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge would like to recruit people aged 18 or older who have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, such as type 1 diabetes, to take part in a study that aims to improve understanding of and treatment for flares in autoimmune conditions. They want to find out how people living with autoimmune conditions define 'flares'.

Taking part involves completing an online survey, which takes approximately 45 minutes and can be paused or stopped at any time. The survey can be accessed here

People with diabetes aged 18+ can register their details with Research for the Future to receive information about local NHS diabetes research opportunities. It’s free to join and doesn’t commit you to take part in any studies. 

Researchers at the University of Southampton are inviting adults who have experienced diabetic foot ulcers to participate in a short anonymous survey which should take no more than 20 minutes to complete.  

Evidence shows that there is a strong relationship between physical activity levels and cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health, but it is unclear how diabetic foot ulcers affects this.  

Researchers at Loughborough University would like to recruit people who are British and are living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes to take part in a study that is investigating users’ experience of health websites and AI to find ways to enhance their experience.

This study involves an online interview where participants will be asked:

1) to search for diabetes-related information on three platforms (a health website, ChatGPT, and Google AI Overview), while sharing their comments and thoughts;

Researchers at the University of Sheffield would like to interview adults in the UK (aged 18 or over) who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and also experience anxiety and/or depression. The study aims to find out how people living with type 2 diabetes and depression/anxiety in the UK use digital technologies to support their health and the management of their conditions. We are also interested in the experiences of people who have not used digital technologies for this.
