Hello everyone, I'm a PhD researcher at the University of Nottingham looking at how and why two groups use diabetes online support forums -
· parents of young adults aged 16-19 with type 1 diabetes
· young adults aged 16-19 with type 1 diabetes
This research is different from a lot of other studies, which tend to concentrate on the medical side of diabetes management rather than asking people who live with diabetes about their thoughts and feelings.
The study is an online questionnaire, all participants will remain anonymous, and the results will be confidential.
There's also the chance to win a £50 Amazon voucher when you've completed the questionnaire.
If you're the parent of a teenager with type 1 diabetes and you're interested in taking part, please click on the link below -
As a parent myself, I really appreciate that time is precious, so I'm very grateful to those people who've completed my questionnaire so far. If anyone has any questions or any feedback they'd like to give I'll reply as quickly as possible.
Once again a massive THANK YOU to everyone who's completed the questionnaire so far. It closes in 2 days so there's still the opportunity to take part.
