DUK Newcastle interested to hear about Type 2 diet

[alaska]

Could be useful for some folks in the North East:

"My name is Ian Boffey and I am a PhD student at Newcastle University. I would like to recruit people for my research into dietary change after the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Making changes to one’s diet is known to be difficult. "
...
"Each person would be asked to take part in 3 interviews with me. The first interview will focus on your diet and what information you received when you were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The second interview, which would take place at a later date, will focus on aspects of your diet, both before you had diabetes and after. Finally the third interview, again taking place at a later date, will discuss the changes you have made and what barriers or difficulties you may have faced."
...
"Participation is open to anyone over the age of 18 who has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes either recently or longer ago."

You do know that DUK encourages a rather different diet, to what we do here don't you?

I'll bump this post up.

I did contact the researcher and he wants people with Type 2 regardless of when they were diagnosed.
The interviews would be done at a time suitable to the participant and would last up to one and a half hours.
He does not mind the timescale as long as they are at least every month as he feels longer than that would not be so useful to him. Could be weekly, fortnightly, monthly.

This could influence the dietary advice that people are given at diagnosis so can only be a good thing.

I agree CC. As I am possibly in his location area, my interest is piqued. I think I would like to know a little more first. The OP is a PhD student, so although interested, I don't just want to be some research data! If this really would make a difference to T2's then I would give it serious thought.

Why don't you email Ian and explain your concerns?

Newcastle have led the field in some excellent research.

There are some forum members who have been following their own versions of the Newcastle Study Diet, one of the research projects, and have lost weight and improved their blood sugars. :thumbup: :thumbup: I just hope they can all keep to a new, healthy way of eating and not go back to their pre diet.

Yes, I have been following those doing the Newcastle diet, and it looks very impressive. I may well e-mail Ian. I personally am prepared to things like this, if it helps diabetics, and the treatment and care we receive.

I see few Doctors, except highly enlightened ones will even consider looking at the Newcastle diet, let alone the research. So that begs the question, even though it is rhetorical what difference will this study make? Some one on here said, diabetes is not an exciting illness, there are no magical cures, all a Doctor can do is prescribe medication. There is no glory in diabetes, so why would Doctors want to change long gripped onto beliefs? Yes, change has to come, but by way of a PhD thesis? I wish it were so simple CC.
