Hi guys I hope everyone is well.
My name is Kiya, I'm 24 and I've been a carer for my mum who has type 1 diabetes for roughly 14 years. I am currently in the process of starting my own business with the princes trust and I need some help. My plan is to become a street food vendor that caters to diabetic diets. We found over the years that sometimes it's hard for my mum to eat out and stay in control of her sugars effectively because there isn't enough information available on exactly what she's eating. My goal is to provide tasty home cooked food and provide information on how it will affect a persons diabetes predominantly using the carb counting method. I strongly believe that diabetic people should be able to lead as normal a life as possible and I want to take some of the stress away so they can carry on enjoying themselves whilst educating people on good management/prevention too. Diabetic education is something I feel strongly about because I have seen first hand the effects of poor management and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Anyway, enough of the rambling. I'm here to ask you kindly if you could spare me 5 minutes of your time to complete a couple of surveys (no more than 10 quick questions each) this will aid me in my business venture and providing diabetic people with the things they want to see and need. My main focus is on you guys so I really need to know what you want so I can get it right. Type 1 and type 2. I would be extremely grateful if you could complete the following -
This part of the survey is for diabetic people only, once you have completed section A, could you please complete section B too

If you are not diabetic could you please complete this survey. And if you are diabetic could you complete this one after you've completed the first one.

My business won't just cater to diabetic people as I want to help in prevention of type 2 and get people talking about a healthier diet. So if you know anyone, diabetic or not who could help with my research I would be grateful for you to pass this on to them.
Thank you so much in advance and I can't wait to read the responses. I hope to make you guys living with diabetes lives easier and get more people talking about the importance of diabetes.
Take care of yourselves
Regards
Kiya
