Plus only a train ride away lol
Thank u though and I will
Good on you @MrBloominggrumpy! I've been a research donor for several years now (not for diabetes but because I have a very rare condition). I felt almost privileged when they asked me although it's a bit weird knowing that my dna has been sent all over the place including USA and Japan! I suppose I feel its one good thing to come out of being lumbered with a life long illness.Over the years I've been asked for samples for research into all sorts, like liver disease, ms, ra, hiv, none of which I've actually got so it will never directly benefit me personally but hopefully will do a little bit to help eradicate these terrible conditions. So hats off to you sir!!!! . Sue xxx
. Sue xxxI have some pants and some good news

PARTICIPANT INFORMATION SHEET
Developing support to adults with new onset type 1 diabetes
Invitation to take part in an interview study
We would like to invite you to take part in a study that will explore the views and experiences of people recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes to help find better ways of providing health care support. Before you decide we would like you to understand why the study is being done and what it would involve for you. We will go through the information sheet with you and answer any questions you have, should you be interested in participating. Talk to your family, friends, doctor or nurse if you wish.
This information sheet tells you the purpose of this study and what will happen if you take part, and gives you detailed information about the conduct of the study. Please ask us if there is anything that is not clear.
What is the purpose of the interview study?
The study aims to investigate how adults who are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes learn to live with diabetes, what challenges they face and in what way diabetes may affect them. In addition, we would like to identify what kind of support is viewed as beneficial and what else might be helpful during this time. We would like to develop a package of support for adults with new onset type 1 diabetes to help them to learn to live with type 1 diabetes. Before we do this, we need to find out what adults with new onset type 1 diabetes would find helpful.
We will hold some interviews with adults who have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. In the interviews we would like to ask you about your experience of being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, how you live with diabetes, and the support you have needed. After the interview we will give you a questionnaire to be filled out concerning your experience of living with diabetes. In addition to this we would like to retrieve information from your medical record on type of treatment and blood glucose control.
Why have I been invited?
We are inviting adults who have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes within the last three years, and attend Guy’s or St Thomas’ Diabetes Clinic for their diabetes care. We are looking for around 15 adults to take part in this study.
Do I have to take part?
It is up to you if you decide to take part in the study. If you agree to take part, we will then ask you to sign a consent form. You are free to withdraw at any time, without giving a reason. This would not affect the standard of any care you would receive at the hospital.
What will happen to me if I take part?
We will invite you to participate in two interviews that will last approximately 1 hour each. The first interview will be conducted within one month of your agreeing to participate in the study and the second interview will be conducted approximately 6 months later. You will be encouraged to share your experiences with the researcher. The researcher will use a prompt sheet to facilitate the interview and an audio tape will be used to tape the interview. The interview can take place at the hospital, in your home or at another location according to your preferences. After the interview you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire. It will take approximately 20 minutes to fill out and it is voluntary to do so.
Expenses and payments
We will give you a £25 gift voucher for participating in each interview to cover any expenses you might have in relation to this.
Benefits of taking part
We cannot promise that participating in the study will help you. However, the possible benefits of taking part in the interviews are:
• You will be contributing to the design of a programme of support for adults with new onset type 1 diabetes
• You may learn more about your own experiences of having diabetes by sharing your story with the researcher
What if there is a problem?
We do not anticipate that participation in the study will cause any problems. However, you will be reflecting on your experiences and this could be upsetting. We will conduct the interviews in a supportive way and should any problem arise during the interview, we can with your permission, contact relevant people in the health care team to help you address these problems. If you have a concern about any aspect of this study, you should ask to speak to the researchers who will do their best to answer your questions. Please contact Mette Due-Christensen on 020 79183 17843. If you remain unhappy and wish to complain formally, you can do this by contacting the Patient Advice and Liaison Service on 020 3299 3601.
What happens after the interview?
The things said on the recording will be typed out and the recording will be destroyed and the researcher will analyse it along with the other interviews that have been conducted. The findings from the analysis will help design a programme of support for adults with new onset type 1 diabetes.
Will my taking part in the study be kept confidential? Yes. We will follow ethical and legal practice and all information about you will be handled in confidence. The interviews will be audio recorded and then written down. The information you provide will remain anonymous and no comments you make will be attributable to you or affect the care you receive in anyway.
Who is organising and funding the research?
The researcher is conducting this study as a PhD project at Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, King’s College London. The study is funded by Foundation of European Nurses in Diabetes.
Who has reviewed the study?
All research in the NHS is looked at by an independent group of people, called a Research Ethics Committee, to protect your interests. This study has been reviewed and given favourable opinion by NRES Committee Northwest – GM South.
