Hi folks!
My name is Stephen and I am a final year Computing Science student at the University of Glasgow (UK). As part of my honours project for my final year I am developing an app designed to run on Android phones and aid the self-management of Type 1 diabetes. I am interested in finding out how mobile technology, particularly a smartphone app (Android) can be used to help self-manage the condition. Development has been going well so far, with some helpful input from my younger sister who was diagnosed with T1D last year. However, I am hoping to validate some of the later features (e.g. social media integration, reminder system), that are planned for the app by asking you guys what you think of them.
What I am asking is for you to fill out a short questionnaire asking some very general questions about your diabetes and some of the things you might find useful (or not!) in an app designed to help you. The link for the questionnaire is at the bottom of this post.
The questionnaire should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete and I very much appreciate any bit of feedback from you. If you need any information regarding my research, I have attached a link to a Google doc that provides much more information. If you are interested in trying out an early prototype of my app, you can send me a message on here or leave your email address with the questionnaire.
One final thing - my research has been fully approved by my University's ethics committee. However, participants are required to be at least 16 years old. If you are under 16 can I please ask you to get a parent or guardian to fill this out on your behalf?

Many thanks in advance,
